COT:

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Mat 6:31-33

Remember to get our priorities right! In following the Lord Jesus, we don’t need to be anxious or carry the burdens of life alone. Seek His face first and “all these things will be added to you.”

COT: YHC shared a story of his 14yr old going to the emergency room over the weekend. She is autistic and over 500 miles away at a special school. YHC felt a burden of sorrow and helplessness weighing him down and was reminded to “Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.” Each of us carries a burden (or burdens) – it can be at home, at work, or internal struggles that weigh us down. A stronger back is not just physical-it includes drawing from your faith, your family, your friends, and your community. F3 PAX post in the gloom to strengthen their “backs”. We do that through the 3 Fs – Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. We show up for our F3 brothers to do the hard things at 0530, so when we leave the F3 AO we can be stronger for our families, our friends, our communities, and ourselves. Thank you brothers for coming out today! SYITG!

Going through the hard times strengthens us.
