CONFESS YOUR SINS & RECEIVE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
READ THE SCRIPTURES
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

What has Psalm 46 taught you about your need for God?
How has this pandemic caused you to see your need for God?
How will you cultivate greater dependence upon God?
For Children:
“The Lord of hosts is with us” v. 7
How do we know that God is with us? What are some ways we have seen God work in our family?
“We will not fear” v. 2
If we know God is with us, how does this take fears away? What is something I can do if I feel fearful today?
