Freedom
Freedom is an attitude of your heart. World-renowned psychiatrist and founder of logotherapy – the search of meaning for one’s life - Viktor Frankl survived Auschwitz during World War Two. In the prison camp he found, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” When you feel obligated to think or do things in a fixed way, you allow your thought process to put you in bondage. God gives you the power to think, speak and act without condition or restraint. He won’t put you in prison for what you think or do. You may put yourself in a mental prison by what you think but God never will. He offers you life with an even path to walk on without fear. The world demands obligation. Jesus offers choice. This is true freedom.
Memory Verse
“Don't be afraid, only believe." Mark 5:36.
Declaration Prayer
When I get really afraid I come to you in trust. I’m proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God. What can mere mortals do? My old sinful self was crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in my life. I am no longer a slave to sin. For when I died with Christ I was set free from the power of sin. It is absolutely clear that God has called me to a free life. I just need to make sure that I don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever I want to do and destroy my freedom. Rather, I use my freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom. If we bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all we will be annihilating each other, and where will our precious freedom be then? Jesus set me free to live a free life. So I am taking my stand! Never again will anyone put a harness of slavery on me. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

There’s one Person you can count on in life. Jesus is there for you in everything. We want to belong, be loved and know we’re not alone in what we face. The worst part of life isn’t having problems – it’s being alone in the problem. You’re never alone. Jesus is with you always.
