Conquering a Besetting Sin, Depression, Shame

Key verses: Hebrews 12:1-2 (NASB) Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Confess to God and lay it aside: I am powerless to conquer this, Lord. I’m giving this battle to You today. Deliver me, I ask in the powerful name of Jesus. Any spirit of fear, shame, loneliness, doubt, … I command you to leave in the name of Jesus who has ALL authority in heaven and earth.

FOCUS today: Get to Know Jesus.                                                            (Specifics of what you did.)
