Hello dear sisters!  We are well into summer as well as our study. I am so thankful for the much needed rain we’ve had this week. I hope you all are enjoying your summer and I sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed our video and article from Libby this week. I pray that you’ve been learning to shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace so that you may weather the storms of life when they come.

Today we have a few questions for you to consider.  We want to hear from you so share your thoughts with us.

1. What did you list on page 97 of your homework on day 1 as you detected disharmony, unrest, or an overarching lack of peace in these areas? How have you seen the enemy’s handiwork in these areas?
2. What are three specific things for which you can be grateful to God, despite whatever difficulty you’re currently facing? How can you incorporate these three things into your prayer strategy this week?
3. What are some areas of your life where you need to be on the offensive instead of the defensive, taking back ground from the enemy? What would this process look like in a practical sense? Refer to your answers from your homework on page 115.

As for me personally, there was a time when the enemy used my overloaded work schedule and demands of raising children to come between my husband and I. For years he used this situation against us in very damaging ways. The scary part was we didn’t even realize it was happening. I am incredibly thankful God saved us from ourselves and what the enemy had intended to harm us with, God intended it for good.

If you are struggling to find peace through your situation I encourage you to reach out to your sisters in Christ. We were not made to do life on our own. The One Heart Leadership team is here to come alongside you in support, encouragement and prayer! Praying for you and your families!

In His Love,
Melisa
