BACKPACK PRAYER
Today's reading: 1 Timothy 4-6

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7 NLT

High school begins this week for our family.

My little fella (5'11") will be entering the big school and soaking in all it has to offer.

I believe he will minister to other kids there. I believe he will experience new things. I believe he will learn in new and exciting ways. I believe he will make new friends and solidify old friendships. I believe he will have a great time. I believe he will be a blessing to his teachers.

He, or I, needn't be afraid.

He, or I, needn't be timid.

He, and I, can go into this new season of life with power, love and the self-discipline provided us by the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.

Lord, may this verse permeate our week ahead and the school year to follow. Amen.
