Faith Over Fear!

Faith or fear?..

It's the age-old problem that we face every day.

It comes seemingly from out of nowhere, but if not confronted immediately, our day can get hijacked with our thoughts taken hostage and our minds blinded by it. 

What is it? 

FEAR... 

OK, so maybe you are one of those invincible folks already so full of faith that fear has no way to get a grip inside of you. 

I wish I could say that, but I am human and without putting myself in check with faith each time a fear tries to crop up, I am a victim. 

Try this the next time you find yourself stepping on the gas out of fear of missing the light, or when your mind fills with words you feel you must immediately say, instead of listening to the conversation completely before it's your turn to speak...

I bet Y'all didn't consider those as a fear did you?..

RELAX and let your faith guide your mind!..

Check your experience...

"We think fear ought to be classed with stealing. It seems to cause more trouble." Big Book pg. 68

 Lord, quiet the fears in our minds with the Faith in our hearts, AMEN. 

 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

It's What's Inside That Counts

Whatcha wearin' on the inside?..

I used to share this thought as part of a class lesson when I was on staff at the Salvation Army ARC in Sacramento...

You can wax, wash, shine, polish, and accessorize your car to its finest, but if you don't change the oil, keep the engine serviced, and keep quality fuel in the tank, you won't go anywhere and wind up with a fine-looking piece of junk...

The point is that if you don't maintain your engine (Spiritual condition) and inside mechanical parts (mental and emotional) that others cannot see, you will have junk, no matter how pretty or cool you look on the outside. 

How are you maintaining the Spiritual and mental parts of your life?.. 

Check your experience... 

"What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg. 85 

Lord, let us enter your Spiritual gym daily to keep our heart, mind, and soul in fit condition, AMEN. 

"Your adornment must not be merely external . . . but let it be the hidden person of the heart." 1 Peter 3:3-4 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

 How about a daily dose of hope and inspired thought? 

Drop the Rocks

Drop the rocks...

Did you ever notice that in times of stress, fear, or extended worry your back usually aches and your shoulders and neck are stiff and tight? 

Sheesh! What's up with that? 

You are probably familiar with the term 'carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders'; and that is exactly what we are trying to do during these painful times! 

We can't change people, places, things, or situations. 

So why do we load our hearts and minds with the weight of things we cannot change? 

When we block our hearts off from the Holy Spirit, our minds become prisoners of our self-induced thoughts. 

Our body takes on the weight of this unnatural stress causing pain in our back, shoulders, and neck....

Drop those rocks! 

Give the weight of the world to God and watch your pains go away!..

As always..... Check your experience…. 

"But soon the sense of His presence had been blotted out by worldly clamors, mostly those within myself." Big Book pg. 12-13 

Lord let us give the weight of the world to you freeing us to focus on Your will for us and enjoy Your grace and peace, AMEN. 

"...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:2 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
