Private Disciplines
What do you regularly do, on your own, to invest in your relationship with God? How could you take it to the next level? This week try to make (more) space available to pray and read the Bible. Make it realistic and achievable, and then stick to it. Read Matthew 6:1-21. Go through the same process with your finances and your food!

Pivotal Circumstances
Think about what’s going on in your life right now. Are there area where you feel things aren’t going as well as you would have expected or hoped? What do you think is going on? How can you use your faith as a framework to help you see the bigger picture to your circumstances? Try talking it through with a friend. Read Matthew 4:1-11 and Matthew 6:25-34.

Personal Ministry
What are you doing for God at the moment that scares you? Consider the statement, “Where ever you are afraid is the epicentre of where God wants to work in your life.” How does this make you feel? What could you do to step out of your comfort zone and trust God will look after you? Read Matthew 14:13-21.

Cut out and stick the list of the 5 dynamics needed to grow your faith somewhere you’ll see them and be reminded.
