Greater the risk, greater the thankfulness.

In the midst of victory live in thanksgiving and guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7)

 V. Application
What sufferings or challenges have you been experiencing, lately?
What are you the most afraid of?  How have you been dealing with your fears? What is the Lord telling you the battles?
What gets in the way of sharing this battle with others when they can fight the battle with you?
Have you declared war on the enemy? Who is the Lord telling you about how to fight?
In the midst of trials let’s count our blessings.  Share about your victories. Share with others what you are thankful for.
