To be completely honest….Lately I have been consumed with work, new lipstick shades and worry/doubt about my life! I noticed that when I start to lose focus along with it goes my faith, calmness and strength! I begin to lose sight and become so un-content with EVERY aspect of my life!
That anxious feeling I get is VERY overwhelming and I become completely ENGULFED by stress.
Proverbs 16:3 positively places my faith into perception. When I let go of all the doubt-worries of my future, my job, money and my relationship with my boyfriend I can think more clearly. I can begin to calm down and focus on my main priority = GOD!
Once that kicks in I make it a priority to spend time in the scripture, talk more with God through prayer and my relationship with GOD grows! I feel more joyous and hopeful when I am closer to him. The relationships around me improve, little annoyances don’t bother me as much and I am overall less stressed.
It truly is a MIRACLE how our lives take shape when we let GOD take control: when we put GOD FIRST!
I love the lesson in this verse and I am compelled to share to those of you who struggle with anxiety, stress and doubt!
I am making more of an effort…taking more time to spend on the important matters and letting my life become established through GRACE, MERCY and LOVE from GOD!
Proverbs 16:3 is one of my favorite verses!! Thank you for sharing.

Yes, thank you for sharing Philippians 4:6-7! What a great verse to help get through those difficult anxious times!
