THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

GOD HAS NOT ENDOWED US WITH A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT WITH POWER AND A SOUND MIND

God is eager to address whatever concerns you may have today. He extends an invitation for you to cast your worries and burdens upon HIM, out of His LOVE for you.

How do you ENTRUST Him with your burdens? It begins with recognizing that WORRIES manifest in your THOUGHTS. When negative, defeating thoughts arise, identify them as burdens and counter them with God’s WORD. For instance, if you’re worried about a NEED, proclaim, “My God WILL meet all my needs according to the riches of His GLORY.” If fear grips you, affirm, “God has NOT given me a spirit of fear, but of POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND mind.” If you’re facing ILLNESS, declare, “I am HEALED by His STRIPES.” Meditating on these TRUTHS and centering your heart and mind on GOD will cause these burdens to fade AWAY.

Then, express GRATITUDE for the PEACE and JOY He provides. Acknowledge His WORK in your life. Maintain a stance of FAITH and ANTICIPATION, surrender your concerns to HIM, and prepare for the BLESSINGS He has in store for your FUTURE.

Today’s Scripture:

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

(1 Peter 5:7, NLT)
