Take time to rest in the Lord and allow Him to restore and renew you. Know in your heart that He is able. Slow down, put your feet up, and relish in gratitude for all He has done. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace during seasons of restoration.
Time has a way of strengthening the body and mending the soul if we use it wisely to care for ourselves while trusting in the Most High God.
Spending time in and with the Word will change your perspective. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. When we enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, something shifts. When our focus is on Him, the awe of His glory replaces any lack.
Our brains are wired to find and see what it is we are looking for. So, focus on the blessings and all of the things you are thankful for, and I promise you will start to see and appreciate the goodness of God and the evidence of His love for you even more than you realize. Whatever we focus on will be highlighted in our lives. So, the choice is ours.
Today, I choose gratitude.
I challenge you to slow down for a moment, take time to care for yourself, and ask, "What will I choose to focus on today?"

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
