Day 9

Focus

“For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.” —Hebrews 4:15

Journal

Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. It is time to come clean about your self-protection.
