Hey, this is a reminder that you can have peace. It is yours. It’s a gift that you simply need to accept and unfold in your life. _ You can have peace even if the world that you have carefully built collapses and you feel tattered and torn. _ You can have peace even when all you are left with are memories. _ You can have peace when the happenings around you break your spirit. _ You can have peace because your peace stems from the Ruler of this Universe - Christ. Your peace is not dependent on what’s happening around you but on the One who lives within you. _ Don’t skip plugging into your source of peace today through prayer, praise and meditation. It’s a necessary act to keep our minds and hearts right.

Temptation can seem friendly. It doesn’t always enter our lives appearing dangerous and deceptive. _ No matter it’s form, it can be easy to give in to especially when we are hurting or vulnerable. _ Today, be vigilant but also be open to God. Speak to Him candidly about the temptations you face during the day for He understands what you are going through and can shield you from giving in to any particular temptation. _ Hebrews 4:15-16: “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

Affirmation: “Everything is happening exactly as it’s supposed to, with hidden blessings that I’ll soon understand. Sometimes what appears to be a problem is actually an answered prayer in disguise.” Randy Russell Jr. 🌸 Lord open up my heart to trust your process. . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

If you’ve ever been open to the chance of intimately loving again after an awful breakup, you may have asked yourself these questions: Am I ready to receive love again? Inspite of my past am I ready and willing to welcome the changing power of love into my life? _ We believe that Paul may have asked himself this question when he was being transformed by God’s grace: Am I willing to receive God’s grace? Am I willing to humble myself and allow God to develop a sincere faith and pure love and heart within me? _ Paul’s transformational story is nothing short of a miracle. Moving from being an arrogant persecutor of believers to becoming a vibrant kingdom king was no easy transformation. But it happened. Not because God forced Paul to surrender but because Paul was willing to surrender to God’s live. _ Paul willing opened up himself to be renewed by God’s love. He allowed the immense patience of God to change him inside-out. He opened up himself to the great work God had to do in him day after day, so that he Paul could be an agent of free flowing divine love to others, day after day. _ The question we have to ask ourselves this morning is: Am I willing to receive God’s love and allow it to do the deep work it has to do in my life, for me to become more like Christ? Am I willing to be refined, strengthened and transformed by God? Because the challenge is never if God will transform us but if we will welcome Him in to transform us? . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship #surrender ⠀⠀

R E M I N D E R: God wants you to take the journey, before you have the full details of what the journey will be like. This is what faith looks like. This is what builds faith. Step out in faith and for faith.. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

P R A Y E R: Lord you are taking me to a new season…the elements in that season seem familiar but I know you demand that I use a new way of thinking and being to fully serve you in this season. Help me to focus. Help me to surrender my old ideals and ways to you. Help me to keep trusting you through the growing pains. . . Tip: In your journal write out Ephesians 4: 23, 24: “Have a new mind and heart. Be a new person. That new person has been made like God. He does what is right and holy because he knows the truth.” . . Write down what God reveals you should change or adjust: an attitude, a belief, a habit, a thought-pattern. . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

S C R I P T U R E: “A new commandment I give unto you,” Christ said, “That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34). . . We are always in need of asking God to allow His love to shine through our lives. When we allow His love to shine through us we will find it difficult to dwell on the mistakes of others and give way to criticism and unkindness. . How can we allow His love to shine through us? . . Daily dwell in His presence so that we can be so full of His love and have no choice but to allow it to overflow in all aspects of our lives. . . Develop a deep appreciation for His instruction so that He can advise of the best ways to love those around you. . . Be open to loving others as He directs …even if it makes us appear “weak” or “foolish”. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

C H E C K - I N: “For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV) There are times when God will tell you something clearly. You will step out in faith and pursue that thing, relationship or opportunity. However while moving forward, you encounter some hiccups and you find yourself wondering if you heard God correctly. Doubt crosses your mind. Those around you even question if you heard God correctly. We’ve been here. We know what we heard God saying to us – and we know it was His voice and not our fears, insecurities or emotions. Our solution – we kept moving forward in faith … because we knew what God said will come to pass will come to pass. . Keep moving forward ACCORDING to His word. You will not lose or fail when you do. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

Help me to move beyond living for myself. Galatians 6:2-3, “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.” . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

R E C O N C I L I A T I O N: One of the hardest things to do is putting yourself in someone else’s shoe. This is empathy. It is understanding what the other person is experiencing and feeling so that you can better communicate with you them and relate to them. . . When you are attempting to reconnect with someone whom you may have hurt, it is important that you show empathy. It’s a tough call. But acknowledging the other persons pain helps them feel supported and it gives you perspective. . Prayer: Lord, help me to cultivate empathy. Help me to be a friend who puts myself in the shoes of others…even those who hurt me. Give me a heart of humility. Adjust my false notions and bitter thoughts. Shift my heart to be open to working with you to initiate change in my relationships so that I can bring You glory through them. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

P R A Y E R: Pray to God to help you to be open to being used so that you can be a support to someone in your life….even if it makes you uncomfortable. . . Pray for one person in your life who is struggling with unforgiveness and bitterness. Ask God to give that person the courage to surrender those states of being. Allow God to show you how you can practically support this person during this incredibly tough time. . . Pray for yourself and another…and remember to end your prayer with praise. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

C H A L L E N G E: Obedience is your responsibility, the outcome is God’s. – Steven Furtick. Focus on simply obeying God this weekend and trust Him with the rest – that is, the response and the outcome. . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

R E M I N D E R: "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40: 8 . . Everything is transient. Our emotions, relationships, situations – they eventually change and end; but what God says never changes. What He says to you through prayer or through His word will last forever. Lean into the One who never changes this weekend. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

Here’s our tip when you’ve reached out to the other person and you’ve both decided on a time, date and neutral place to meet: Listen well. . Good listening involves more than being silent while the other person talks. It is focusing on what is being said and hearing what they’re saying while periodically asking questions to gain discovery and insight on what is being said. It is summarizing what you’ve heard and asking questions to check your understanding of what was being said. It is listening for TOTAL meaning. To do this, you must enter the conversation with a goal to learn more of the other person’s perspective. See the other person as a teacher giving you insight into their emotional experience. . Practice actively listening this evening and keep James 1: 19 on your heart: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”. . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

R E M I N D E R: “Nothing is wasted with God” is a phrase I have come to deeply appreciate and love. God wastes nothing. He uses even the little that we have left and creates a beautiful future, circumstance or situation with it. Zechariah 4: 10 says, “Do not despise these small beginnings…” . . . We’re reminding you not to despise what is left in your life. You may have lost a lot. The situation took place. You tried your best. God desires to use what little you have left on the inside to take you on a new journey and experience with Him. . . . . Would you let go of holding “your little” so tightly close to you and your heart and allow Him to use it for good? . . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship

S C R I P T U R E: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 . . Cheers to a love that gets us, knows us, changes us, protects us and provides for us. . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #anxiety #mentalhealth #forgiveness #reconnect #friendship
