What are the “bubbles” that might be distracting you from your relationship with

God or the things that matter most? Are they “good” bubbles that you need to
submit to God’s timing and plan, or things you should stop chasing altogether?

My relationships with certain individuals that one can consider unhealthy because of
the amount of time I spend to them.

I consider them good bubbles because it teaches me to be patient and unexpectant.

Also, since they consume a significant value in my heart, and whatever happens to
them concerns me a lot so I always pray for them.

What gets in the way of you asking for help? How might today’s passage encourage
you to start reaching out more?

I refused to seek help because I don't want to be a burden to anyone, and whenever I
feel that I have to, I always think I need to pay this person back. Although the last part
is not entirely a bad thing, I learned that one can pay it forward.
I realized from today's reading that asking for help and showing dependence strips off
pride the same way that offering to help is allowing God to use you.

How can you tell if you love money or not? What does it look like to find your
satisfaction and security in God, and handle money with gratitude?
When my joy is dependent on having what I consider enough, that I put a lot of
hardwork and time in making money more than other things in life.

Contentment is an image that God governs one's life, in a fast-paced world, its
difficult to be content with life because there's always this void that God can only fill
yet we try to fill it with material gains.

Think of a time that God provided for you in an unexpected way. Who can you
encourage this week by sharing this story with them?

Back when our house was gutted by fire, the same time I lost my job, it was really His
gracious work that helped us overcome the adversity.

I try to encourage a friend of mine who is going through a rough time because of the
bar results. I always tell him that this is not the end all and be all, and everything
works perfectly in God's time. I encourage him to pray and reflect of the goodness of
God, somehow, murag na okay na man sya. But its still a process.
