Weeds in My Garden: It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

September 28, 2025 / Pastor Fitz

I tell you that I’m whole, but I’m still healing
I tell you that I’m happy, but I’m grieving
Thought I was a fighter
I’m still in the fire

‘Cause if I’m being honest
I’m not being honest
I’ll give you roses just hopin’ you don’t see the weeds in my garden

 

Notes:

 

JESUS CARES ABOUT THE IN YOUR GARDEN.

 

Notes:

 

Matthew 4:23-24 (NLT)
23 Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 24 News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.

 

Notes:

 

THE WEEDS IN YOUR GARDEN HAVE A COMPLEX ROOT SYSTEM. 

ROOT #1 –

ROOT #2 –

ROOT #3 –

ROOT #4 –

 

Notes:

 

God loves you right where you are…and he loves you too much to leave you there.

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES TO HELP UPROOT WEEDS: 

  • START YOUR DAY WITH GOD.
  • END YOUR DAY WITH PRAYER AND GRATITUDE.
  • LIMIT YOUR INTAKE AND TURN OFF YOUR NOTIFICATIONS.
  • ONLY CONSUME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN PRAY FOR.

 

Revelation 22:1-3 (NLT)
Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.

 

Notes:

 

THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS MEANS HOPE GROWS EVEN STRONGER THAN OUR WEEDS.

 

Notes:

 

REMEMBER THE AND CHOOSE HOPE!
