TOPIC: Envy No One
MEMORISE: But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Galatians 6:4-5
READ: Psalms 139:14
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul know right well.
MESSAGE:
Envy robs you of joy and distracts you from God’s unique plan for your life. God has gifted you with talents and abilities that are uniquely yours and meant to shine in a way no one else can replicate. Comparing yourself to others only dims your light and keeps you from reaching your full potential.
When you focus on growing what God has placed in you, you’ll find purpose, fulfilment, and the courage to make a difference in the world. Remember, you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, who has given you strengths and dreams that are perfectly designed for you. Seek God’s guidance, nurture your gifts, and trust that He has a perfect plan for you.
My dear child, be inspired by others, but remember to run your own race with faith and patience. Your journey is precious, and God’s timing for you is perfect.
QUIZ: According to the book of Proverbs, what does envy do to a person’s health?
PRAYER POINT

HYMN 22: Sweet Hour Of Prayer
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
