Thought to share: what are you looking at? Where is your focus? If you give your attention to the negative, you’ll never see the positive. And there is positive in every situation, because I AM in every situation with you. So keep your eyes on ME and I will show you the good in your circumstances. I will draw your eyes to MY hand at work. I will shift your focus and enable you to see the blessings that surround you.

2Corinthians 4:18 (NLT) So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Psalm 16:8 (NIV) I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Thought to share: Anxiety will come – uninvited – and thrust itself upon you. Barging in, it will attempt to unsettle you and cause you stress. But you don’t have to let it bully you. You don’t have to listen to its fear inspiring whispers. You don’t have to allow it to stay. When you feel anxiety grip your heart, that’s your cue to look at ME. As you look at ME, focusing on MY steadfast faithfulness, you will see MY goodness and love. You will be reminded of MY constant care for you. And in this frame of mind, anxiety will dissipate. It cannot stay in MY Presence.

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Thought to share: As life swirls around you and rushes past, don’t get sucked into the chaos. Don’t be mesmerized by the details. Don’t try to grasp the frazzled ends and pull it all together. Instead, look at ME. Purposely turn your eyes to MY face and gaze at ME. Grasp MY hand. I’ll take care of the vortex that threatens to pull you under. I’ll sew up the details. And you can just rest in ME.

Micah 7:7 (NLT) As for me, I look to the LORD for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.
Isaiah 26:3 (Amp) You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!
