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!
Life, Miracles and all the hassles in-between 
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!

Than you so much for reading a sharing with me!
