Anti-Stress Confessions

It goes without saying that stress can affect you mentally and physically. With the hectic nature of most of our lives (kids, careers, etc.), controlling your stress level can become a daily battle. The Bible offers several scriptures to help you during these times. Confess these scriptures aloud whenever you are feeling overwhelmed.

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

You (God) will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You. Isaiah 26:3 emphasis mine

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7

Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear, for the battle is the Lord's and He will give unto your hand.  1 Samuel 17:47

Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His promise. Romans 8:28

But You, O Lord are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Psalm 3:3-4

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Pslam 55:22

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:10-12

You are complete in Him

Today's post will be quick yet powerful. This scripture has been in my spirit and I thought I would share it with you. I pray this scripture will empower, enlighten and strengthen you.

For in Him (Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him (Christ), which is the head of all principality and power.

Colossians 2:9-10 Emphasis Mine

If at anytime you feel incomplete or hopeless, meditate on this scripture and insert 'I' where it states 'ye'. For example, "And I am complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power." This is an awesome confession! You are complete in the very One who has defeated all principalities and powers. You are an overcomer, you are a more than conquerer, you are victorious, you are COMPLETE in HIM!

The Green Goodness Drink

Want a boost in energy the natural way? Are you feeling the beginnings of a cold? Or would you like to build your vitamin and mineral reserves? A green drink, which I fondly call The Green Goodness, may be the answer you need. Fresh vegetable juice is full of vitamins, chlorophyll, fiber, and minerals that can help you gain/retain energy, shorten the time of an illness, and detox your body. For maximum potency, consume this drink within 30 minutes of preparing it.

You will need:

• A juicer or high powered blender
• 1 cucumber
• 1 bunch of kale greens
• 4 carrots
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• 1 apple

Rinse produce thoroughly before beginning. If using a juicer, start by juicing all soft ingredients (IE. kale and cilantro). Then finish by juicing the rest of the produce one by one. If using a blender, slowly add all soft ingredients first. You may wish to add 1/4 cup of 100% pure apple juice to aid in the puree process. Chop the cucumber, carrots, and apple. Slowly add these ingredients. This recipe may make more juice than you intend to drink in one sitting. Freeze the rest until later or share with a loved one. Enjoy!

February 3rd is Go Red Day!

The facts are clear. More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. Unfortunately, the killer isn’t as easy to see. Heart disease is often silent, hidden and misunderstood.
 The truth is: our lives are in our hands. We can stop our No. 1 killer together by sharing the truth. We can be the difference between life and death.

This year, Emmy-nominated actress Elizabeth Banks directs and stars in the first-ever Go Red For Women short film and PSA called “Just a Little Heart Attack.”  Inspired by the real-life stories of women who have been affected by heart disease, the entertaining, yet poignant film can be viewed below.
