Peace amidst the Storm ?

Life’s challenges come in many different forms and usually when least expected. The key to overcoming these struggles is to chance our perspective and to have an action-plan ready when life throws a curveball at us.

Some of the things we can do are:

❤️We can take deep breaths. Stop whatever you are doing and practice taking some slow, deep breaths for 30 seconds. It’s just enough time to recenter and quiet the mind. Then provide a new action, a new thought or think of something that you’re thankful for.

❤️Get quiet & still your mind. Find a place to relax, breathe and give your brain one command, “Find the stillness,” & remind yourself that at this moment, you don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to find the stillness and breathe. The more we practice finding stillness the better we’re able to handle what comes our way.

❤️ Journaling. Give yourself 5 minutes to quickly jot down every thought, feeling, frustration, and emotion that comes to mind. Society teaches us that feeling our emotions is a sign of weakness but in fact; it’s a sign of strength. Use this time to handle everything that’s been building up in your system for years.

❤️ Trust in God and know that True peace and happiness comes from within. It’s not an external force. It’s a state of being independent of what’s happening in your outer world. God will Provide you the power to have peace amidst the storm. Seek Him and feel the difference He can make. ???

Whether you are going through a major life crisis or managing the day-to- day struggles.

think about what you do when those storms come overhead. Do you seek out a personal escape through the things of the world or do you firmly plant yourself in the Word of God lifting your eyes towards heaven?

Where do you turn to help you understand how to deal with the storms of your life? I challenge you to take any problem, difficulty, or circumstance to Him in prayer whether big or small. God already knows what you have need of and is just waiting to hear from you! ?

As we SEEK personal time with God through prayer, we can know how to handle anything that comes into our lives. I’ve discovered that when I make time to be ALONE WITH God, He gives me the greatest wisdom and provides the peace that I need at that specific moment. So, put it to the test in your own life and make that time with God a space for YOU to DISCONNECT form your daily struggles or challenges that you may be going through, to just CONNECT TO GOD & to HIS DIVINE POWER & LOVE FOR YOU!!! ❤️

As we choose to make the time to Come to Him. He will provide the inspiration, the thoughts and specially the PEACE that we need to get us through the challenges or sometimes just to get us through the day! ??

So, Take your step toward Him one day at a time. Trust in His timing for your life and in His infinite wisdom. He knows why these storms have to come, He knows what will strengthen YOU & what will make you spiritually, mentally and emotionally stronger than you are now. As we CHOOSE to focus on what we can learn from the challenges that we experience and how they can strengthen us and help us to become better as a child of God. We will see that we will be surrounded by His love, that we’re not alone, and that His peace will be here to give us the strength to control what goes on inside our souls regardless of the storms that may be around us, we can remain internally peaceful. Find the stillness, cover yourself in the Peace that God can provide & know that YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS WITH HIS HELP. ?

Our spiritual goal for the week is to find more stillness during our days. To make time to connect to God and let go of so many distractions to Seek Him more and feel the peace no matter what the challenges may be this week. Find stillness One day at a time ???

Our physical goal for the week is to finish our last meals by 7pm and to drink half of our body weight in ounces of water each day! We’ve got this! ???

Hope that you can make it to class this week & Invite others to come with you as well! ?? The hardest thing is showing up!! Once you’re there, you’ll feel that renewal & strength to our Body, Mind and Spirit! ???????

Love,

Lili ?
