00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Before we begin, take a slow, deep breath.

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Acknowledge what you're feeling right now.

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.480
<v SPEAKER_00>It's valid.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:27.120
<v SPEAKER_00>While we navigate a difficult world, remember that this moment isn't the end of your story.

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Today we're refocusing on the good.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.960
<v SPEAKER_00>God doesn't use fear to get our attention, he uses kindness.

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:44.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Romans 2.4 tells us that his kindness is what leads us back to him.

00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to simply thank God for his patience.

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank him for leading you with grace.

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask for the strength to follow that lead today.

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Pray for a heart that trusts his goodness above your own worries.

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:35.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Notice that you aren't being pushed by fear, but are pulled by kindness.

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.560
<v SPEAKER_00>What does that connection feel like?

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask that they would feel pulled back into a sense of connection and belonging with God.

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.080
<v SPEAKER_00>That they would see his hand moving in their life in a way they cannot ignore.

00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Lord, thank you for leading us with goodness and grace.

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.280
<v SPEAKER_00>We follow you without hesitation.

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:42.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
