Some days are harder than others. Some days you may feel like you just can't make it through. Some days debilitating anxiety can take over and everything you're doing never feels like enough.
I took some time this week to go through my bible and found my favorite verses that give me, personally, an overwhelming sense of calming when I feel I'm in despair.
Put your faith in the Lord, God- the creator of you and me; the trinity 3 in 1 and someone so powerful and so mighty. The bible literally says over 365 times "Do not be afraid". So, here's a little peace of mind for those in their daily struggles to remember that Jesus only has plans to prosper us. He loves you and works all things for your good in the long run. Have faith, my precious brother or sister- you are not alone.
