Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.

THANK.
Write down 5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
READ. Today’s scripture reading is from Isaiah 58:1-9
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Paradox Church is part of a larger movement of churches throughout the world called Antioch (learn more at antioch.org) We’re taking 22 Days to pray together for 2022. Find today’s prayer here.

How is your fast going? Remember, a fast is simply removing/abstaining from (or going without) one thing/part of your life to make more room for another, more important thing that you want even more. When we fast from food, we redirect our appetite towards God. We hunger for more of Him more than the meal we’re missing. When we fast from social media or technology, we redirect our attention towards God. We focus on Him more than our social feed. The beautiful thing is this - our faithful God not only fills that void with more of Himself, but He gives in abundance. He overflows our cup. That means there’s more of God to give away! The point of encountering God is never simply to be full, but to fill others. Today, as every day, how will Jesus in you overflow into your words, actions, and the lives of others? Pray about one specific way you can your faith can get outside of you today.

Worship - Join us for a night of worship and prayer to close the 22 days with the House of Prayer on Thursday, February 3 at 6pm at Paradox Church in Warren.

LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
CONNECT. Have a question, prayer request, thought, or story? Let us know at paradoxchurch.com/connect
SHARE. Know someone who would love the Daily Focus? Invite them to text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Run the race with endurance today, and stay focused on Jesus.
Make it a Great One!
