When was the last time you felt defeated?
It keeps defeating you.
You're NOT alone.
We celebrate what Jesus defeated when he died.
Hebrews 12:1-2 NLT
Fix their eyes on Jesus.

1. Jesus died for us.
2. Jesus died to defeat sin, so sin won't defeat you.
2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT
BECAUSE OF JESUS, SIN IS DEFEATED.
1. Define what's trying to defeat you.
2. Take a step to defeat it.
3. Ask God to help you remember who you are and how He sees you.

Continue the conversation! We're using "Remind" to give you the opportunity to ask questions and interact with each other during this time.
Because we have so many people, we had to create four different Remind accounts.
Join the one based on the grade you are in school right now. Instructions are below.
We'll also use this when we play "text" games like Emoji Hunt.
Use the following guide as you pray to God throughout this week.
GOD,
Thank you for who You are.
I’m so glad I can talk to You about anything, including things I’m struggling with.
Thank you for loving me no matter what.
You know everything about me, so I know that You already know what I’m going to say. But I want to talk to You about it because I need Your help.
Lately I’ve been struggling with __________________________________.
And it makes me feel __________________________________________.
I know that because of Jesus, any guilt, shame, embarrassment, or negative feelings I have from the mistakes or choices I’ve made don’t have power over me.
I may have strong feelings about it, and there may be consequences to what I’ve done, but I’m not going to let it control or define me anymore.
You made me for something bigger and better than to feel guilty or embarrassed.
God, you are bigger and stronger than anything I struggle with or any feelings I have.
Please give me Your strength, power, and courage to defeat __________________. Give me ways that I can find freedom from it.
Help me learn to trust You whenever I feel bad about struggling with this. Thank you for sending Jesus to defeat sin for me through His death and resurrection. That’s what I’m celebrating this Easter.
I love You, God. Make me more like You.
Finish your prayer by reading this Bible verse out loud to yourself. Read it over and over until you begin to believe it.
2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT
