Be fierce. Be a friend and protector of all things smaller than you. Do you know what it means to ‘look out for’ someone? You look out for a younger brother or sister when you go places; keeping an eye on them so that they don’t get lost or hurt. You watch them. You are…
It’s normal to feel anxiety, frustration or fear, but you may be able to control it. When you feel that your peace is gone, say a simple prayer. “The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace.” — Psalm 29:11 Dear Lord, I cannot do anything without you. I need…

Proverbs 3:5 says to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. “ This makes me think of days where I may feel sad, angry, over confident, or low self esteem. Bad hair day? Feeling…
Scripture says that Jesus is Truth. If we know him, we know the truth, and we are free from spiritual bondage, condemnation and sin. This scripture has extra meaning to me. It means, God loves me, Jesus loves me, and they will take care of me. If you wake up every day and keep this…
2 Timothy 1:7 Tells us that God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Power is in your spirit. Use it. If you don’t feel it, create the feeling. Say these things in your mind, or out loud: I am strong, in the Lord. I am loved by…
