Fear of moral failure is the inability to rest in God’s grace, and it hinders growth, joy, and freedom. Past experiences with humans can negatively impact our ability to rest in God’s grace. When we mess up, often others cast us off. But not Jesus. He opened wide His arms and died in order to draw us close.

2. Why does God’s grace annihilate both guilt and self-condemnation?
3. What’s the difference between striving and yielding?
4. Think of some way you tend to sin. (Example, acting prideful, lying, etc.) When attempting to move past that sin, what might striving look like?
5. Again, think of some way you tend to sin. When attempting to move past that sin, what might yielding look like?
6. What are some ways you connect with your power source (Christ)?

With so many traditions, travel, meals, and memories to be made, it can be easy to feel anxious and overwhelmed by what is ahead. However, God teaches us in Philippians not to worry about anything but to pray and share our petitions with Him with gratitude.
