What is something out of your control that you should stop worrying about? See, even if something is out of our control, we still seem to prepare in some way for this thing, that will likely not happen. So when you worry, how much of that is distraction, how much of that worry is stealing your energy and your focus away from your purpose, your responsibilities, and your potential? How much of your life is being robbed from you? Because you entertain that worry? How much are you missing out? See, this has been a big part of my battle with capturing my thoughts, taking every thought captive and really gaining control, you have a choice of where you focus your thoughts. Now, you may not have practiced this discipline in a while. Yet it is your God given weapon to use. So my challenge for you this week, is to practice using your weapon, wield your sword, Honey, don't be afraid of it. God gave it to you. He knows you can handle it. Talk yourself through it. Instruct yourself, as you begin to use this weapon and practice this discipline. See, our brains tend to operate on autopilot at times, right? So you have to break the old habit to build a new one. And as you're using this discipline and practicing this discipline, honing it in and starting to master it. If you see yourself veering towards that old habit of worry, say I have a choice. I was created by God to control my mind, my thoughts and my actions, partnered with God, I have nothing to fear. Instead of worry and anxiety. I choose to pray and let God then I will do what He has called me to do. for His glory says you have a choice. You have been given a weapon. Among many, we're going to discuss those later. But you have been given this weapon from the Almighty God. There is no army that can defeat our God. So this weapon comes from the undefeated God and King. You have a choice. And you can choose Jesus every time. I sincerely pray that this helps you and blesses you reaches you right where you are today. And Lord, I pray that you just continue to move mightily in this beautiful child that you have created, and that you have a purpose for you have a plan for this beautiful child. And I pray that you would help them to find that as they draw deeper and closer to you making that time every single day. It's in your name Jesus we pray, Amen. And Amen.
