Reflection:

1. Have you responded to the Holy Spirit today about your brokenness?

2. When you observe the damage COVID has done and the rapid changes we have seen around us, how is God calling you to respond to Him? Is there a change that you need to make in your life? Do you need to allow God to have victory over an old habit? Do you need to look to serve Him in a new area this year?
