Or this scripture passage…
“The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.” ~ Psalm 145:14 (NLT)
2—Now, add to your Values List*…
Choose the best word that comes closest to what you value most. Write it on your list…
Calm • Accomplishment • Tenderness • Security • Valor
3—Write this in your own hand—large & bold. Fold neatly/wad into a ball. Touch/squeeze it every time you get anxious. Tonight, file away for later.
Today My Strength…
Stems from being grateful for my challenges and facing my tears with grace. Today I will grow through turmoil, not just accept it as my new normal.
AWARENESS: You will get knocked off your feet. Just get back up. Give thanks. Smile. Resilience is natural when you creatively find a way to bounce back from your pain and turn your scars into scars. Challenges make you stronger. Be thankful for them. They are there to excite you to action.
God Bless,
