Thought for the Day:
If you tend to be an overthinker, pause to recall that no one can deprive you of your joy unless you allow it. Refrain from dwelling on unpleasant conversations or interactions. Be perceptive. If you've erred, apologize; otherwise, strive to move forward. Strive for self-acceptance and understanding of yourself and others. Peace will be more likely as a result.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’” John 16:33

Thought for the day: Learning to speak up in healthy ways can be challenging. Having a different opinion than someone else and expressing it, does not have to end in an argument. When we choose to communicate assertively, as opposed to bottling up our thoughts our feelings or communicating aggressively, we can begin to engage in healthy dialogue.  

“Do everything without complaining and arguing.” Philippians 2:14

Thought of the day:
When you’re in the middle of something heavy, it can feel endless. But tunnels are built with exits; the darkness is not the destination.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

Thought for the day:
The urge to change someone for the better might sound like a heroic thing to do, but unfortunately fixing others is not possible. And you are likely to get hurt yourself, because your efforts fail. You will probably end up exhausted and frustrated when your advice is clearly ignored, or you will put in lots of effort yet you see little to no change. All that emotional investment can lead to frustration and even resentment.

People have the right to choose not to change. If they don't want to change, nothing you do is likely to change that. It is a sad truth that we can love someone so much, but we can't save them from themselves.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all of the Lord's people. Ephesians 6:18

Thought for the Day:

Many of us work hard at being okay. You have likely heard: it is okay to not to be okay. It is even better, if you can name what you're feeling when you do not feel okay!
What emotion is making you feel this way? Name it, sit with it, and then decide what you need, and ask for it! These are hard steps, but believe that you can and just do it!

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you." John
14:16
It's Okay

While it is impossible to dictate the company you keep at all times, it is crucial to surround yourself with positive influences. Use discernment in selecting a partner or friends, prioritizing individuals who consistently demonstrate support, respect your limits, and know how to apologize.

2/6/25 Thought for the day: How are you sleeping? For many people, sleep is a challenge. There are several factors that can impact sleep. For some it has to do with a schedule change, for others it might be an increased level of stress or anxiety. Being able to get good sleep is vital for both our physical and mental health. When our sleep is off, it impacts our mood, thought processes, and how we feel physically.

If you find that your sleep is not as good as you would like it to be, try making one adjustment to your bedtime routine to help improve your sleep quality.

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet” Proverbs 3:24
