Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.Overheads Used in this Session:What is a Discipline?The Prayer of Saint PatrickLeadership magazine “funny”Aspects of Me That I Am in Great Danger of Confusing(Job, Ministry, Work and Life, in a circle diagram) “The Wind, One Brilliant Day," by Antonio Machado can be found at https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-17888Dallas reads a passage about managing our calendars that is from The Art of Pastoring by William C.
