“The Lord gives his people strength.
    The Lord blesses them with peace .”
-Psalm 29:11 [NLT]

A Time to Think… “Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.” ―Wanda E. Brunstetter, author

A Time to Act…  As your feet hit the floor today, start with a new focus, not one that is about your fears but your strengths. It’s way too easy to find things fearful, but much more productive and encouraging to focus on the God-give strengths you really do have!

A Time to Pray… O precious Jesus, you gave your all for me that I may have life and have it with abundance, but sadly my mind wanders to fearing rather than strength, leading me to negative thoughts and a loss of peace. Holy Spirit, turn my focus on Jesus whose resurrection power gives me the strength I need to rest in God’s love and peace. Hear my prayer for only in you can I be strong, AMEN.
