This Week's Goodness

The Message:

Oh MY Goodness!

Can you believe the POWER in that quote? I'd meant to read Immaculee's book, Left to Tell, for years, but never got around to it.

For those of you who don't know, Immaculee survived the Rwandan genocide by hiding in a tiny half bath with NINE other women for almost THREE months!! Her story of the power of prayer and positive thinking is a must-read.

I highlighted this quote today because I wanted to emphasize something. Conquering the anxieties of the world (and the lies of the enemy) begins by tapping into the power of God through prayer. That's why I always ask my coaching clients, "How is your prayer life."

In Immaculee's story, she explains how she kept her hope and peace alive while surrounded by threats of death and lies of the enemy shouting in her ear.

Her weapon - PRAYER. Constant, continuous, every day prayer.

I know that many of us can't pray with that depth and length every day, but I guarantee we can ALL (myself included) find ways to bring more prayer and positivity into our lives.

3 Tips:

1. Listen to Christian Music whenever you are in the car.
2. Wake up 10 minutes earlier to start your day intentionally with prayer and positive thinking.
3. Pray with GRATITUDE for everything you can think of while standing in line for anything during the day.

I guarantee these small changes will begin to lift your spirit and crush those anxious thoughts.

The Song:
