Trying to be in __________________ is the fastest way to lose your __________________.

God wants to bring __________________ to your __________________.

[Matthew 11:28-30] Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you.

The invitation isn’t to __________________ harder, it’s to __________________ with Jesus.

[Hebrews 11:6] And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” And immediately the fig tree withered up. [20] The disciples were amazed when they saw this and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” [21] Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. [22] You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Jesus said to ____________ to the mountains that you face. Faith is a ________________ of relationship. The more you __________ Jesus the more you’ll _________ Him. [John 15:7] But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!

[Romans 3:9-12] Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.

No one does good, not a single one."

The world says you are not ________ enough.

God calls you His ______________________.

[Psalm 139:13-17] You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. [14] Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. [17] How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

The key to change isn’t trying ________________, it’s believing ______________________.

[Psalm 38:3-4] Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. [4] My guilt overwhelms me—it is a burden too heavy to bear. You can't define your _________ ___________ by what other people think of you. When you don't deal with your baggage, you ___________ it on to others. [Hebrews 12:1-2] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. [2] We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. God wants to ___________ your mind.
