Do you ever feel like you try so hard, but you can't seem to curb your anxiety? Things just keep happening! I tend to focus on the wrong part of this verse. I put all my effort into controlling my anxious thoughts...but then I'm anxious about my thoughts. Which kinda defeats the point. the key word is actually the word instead.

Prayer lets us out of the prison of our own limitations.

As I wrap up this year, I'm choosing to celebrate growth instead of focusing on what I didn't get done.

We spend so much time comparing with others that we don't take a hard look at our own lives. I know this is true for me. I can feel that emptiness when I start to compare seep in. It feels like what someone else has was stolen from me.

Who do I want to be, not what do I need to do.
