Happy Monday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Spring Break. We visited our kids and grandkids over the break. It was a glorious time. This week we continue to discuss trust. Maybe you are having trouble with trusting right now. I know I am! It’s time to stop believing the lies!
Fear can stop you from trusting. With God, we can work through our fear of rejection, our fear of the unknown, our fear of being taken advantage of, fear of making mistakes, or our fear of the future. It’s time to start placing our trust in God.
Psalm 56:3-4 states, “When I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?”
The Devil wants you to continue being fearful to keep you from trusting anyone. He whispers lies such as “you will never overcome your fears or you can’t trust anybody.” Don’t believe the lies of the Devil. You can and will overcome through Christ.
The Bible has so many great scriptures to help us when we start to fear.
- “I trust in God at all times. I pour out my heart before Him; God is a refuge for me,” Psalm 62:8.
- “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but I remember the name of the Lord my God,” Psalm 20:7.
- “I lean on, trust in, and am confident in the Lord with all of my heart and mind and I do not rely on my own insight and understanding,” Proverbs 3:5
Start reading and saying these scriptures when you feel afraid. Remember to be bold in the Lord!

Happy Monday! I pray that you are well and enjoying your Monday. Last week was far from normal. Over the last year and a half, I have learned so much. But most importantly, I have learned how to start my day off right!
Every day…
Every day that we are given is a blessing so we should make the most of each and every day. Psalms 118: 24 states, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.”
It is hard to rejoice when we are worried about our electricity going off and having no water. Through it all, I found myself looking for things to be thankful for.
Starting our day with God will give us the strength to make it through anything that comes our way. “I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.” Philippians 4.13. Our strength is found in God.
How do I start my day off right?
- Before you even get up out of your bed, pray.
- Take some time and read the Bible.
- Listen to a podcast. There are so many great ones but Joyce Meyer is my favorite.
- Put on some praise and worship music as you get ready for work.
- Read a devotion.

Happy Monday! It certainly is a cold one around here. As I am sitting and writing this blog, it is 12 degrees outside and snowing. What is the weather like where you are? Today, I am sharing two ways to slow down in a hurry-up world!
Hurry up is a phrase that I catch myself saying all of the time. For example, before I hop into a meeting, I say I am going to hurry and take the dog out or hurry and grab some water. When my boys were little and they wanted me to do something for them, I had to hurry up, with what I was doing to give them my full attention. We live in a hurry-up world.
Hurry-up
I believe the Pandemic has caused many of us to slow down our hurry-ups. However, as time as moved along, my hurry-ups have started to come back.
Slow down…
Proverbs 8:34 states, “Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.”
This Proverbs teaches us to watch and wait at the doorway and we will be blessed. Maybe just maybe we miss our blessing because we are in a hurry. Rushing around can become a habit.
Two ways to slow down in a hurry-up world…
- Take time to breathe and relax between chores.
- Spend longer thinking and praying before making commitments.
Take a few minutes and ask yourself, why do I feel hurried all of the time? You may find out there really isn’t a good reason. Start today creating good habits for yourself. It is time to slow down in a hurry-up world.
Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope the words blessed you.
