FINDING GLORY Wednesday

Finding Glory Wednesdays are a way for us to grow and be encouraged together within an online community — especially when experiencing challenges such as chronic illness, job transition, disability, strained marriage/relationship, grief, and so on. Christ-centered conversation and interaction are critical to the success of this online community concept so please join us. It will be very exciting to see and hear what God is doing!

Discussion here is based on scripture and questions from the Finding Glory in the Thorns: Group Discussion Guide but you do not need to have read the book or participated in a Finding Glory Group to share in the conversation. Please invite your friends to join the discussion too!

Today’s scriptures and discussion question are:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. " MATTHEW 11:28

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." EPHESIANS 3:14-19

What do you crave relief from in your life right now? What do these scriptures tell us about how to experience rest and strengthening?
