Notes: Hebrews 12: 1 (NIV) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Do I need: Sleep? Food? Sunshine? Movement? Connection? Notes: Ephesians 4: 31-32 (NLT) 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Notes: Psalm 42: 1-4 (NIV) 1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. Lamentations 3: 19-23 (NIV) 19 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. 21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Notes: Psalm 42:8,11 (NIV) 8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. “Where is your God?” 11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
