Motivational Quote:
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer-His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable. Written by John Newton
Scripture Reading:
5 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.
6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];
he has become my salvation.
Psalm 118: 5-14 (NIV)
Did You Know?
Coping with the impact of chronic stress can be challenging. Because the source of long-term stress is more constant than acute stress, the body never receives a clear signal to return to normal functioning. With chronic stress, those same lifesaving reactions in the body can disturb the immune, digestive, cardiovascular, sleep, and reproductive systems. Some people may experience mainly digestive symptoms, while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, anger, or irritability.
Over time, continued strain on your body from stress may contribute to serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other illnesses, including mental disorders such as depression or anxiety.

There are so many folks who are “stressed out.” Did you know stress kills if unmanaged? Just like anything else, too much stress is not good and could be life threatening or even fatal. Join me tomorrow (posts available after 10am) as I share a true story on how stress is affecting our community and claiming the lives of our young people. Listen up this message is not just for the senior citizens, its not just for the middle aged, but it is for the “milenenials” as well. Feel free to leave yur comments below.
POWERFUL!!! This message is much needed in the way the world is,we all should reach out to the Best Doctor of life,plus your healing won’t come with a outrageous BILL.
Amen and amen. You know its funny you mentioned the bill portion because I failed to. So many times we stress about going to the doctor because we don’t have the money to pay them or can’t afford the medicine that they prescribe BUT the doctor we are talking about gives you the free gift of salvation and the medicine is His love and Holy Spirit. So the next time we get stressed out or someone we know, lets ring G-O-D on the hotline and keep some of the coins to ourselves.
Make sure you tell that to Micah!
