Stop for a moment. Stop scrolling, stop stressing, stop overthinking. Take a deep breath. Recognize any negativity that’s been invading your thoughts, especially your view of yourself and this day. Let those dark thoughts go, and refuse to accept them, no matter how hard they try to get back in your head.
Let God’s voice be the next one you hear, rather than fear, frustration, or fantasy. Focus on what you’re thankful for, and all He’s been for you, until you can tune into Him again, until you can hear Him speak love, grace, and joy to your heart, and peace, wisdom, and confidence to your mind.
Your circumstances are no longer in charge of how you feel, or what you do next. You are. You are God’s child, fully aware of your Father’s love for you, and for everyone around you. From His presence, regardless of what you’re dealing with, you’re empowered to bring His grace, goodness, kindness, healing, creativity, enthusiasm, effectiveness, power, and so much more into it.
Take another breath. You’ve got this, because He’s got you.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5–6).
