The Bible was written in real places, among real nations, throughout real history.
These weren’t fictional lands. They were kingdoms, empires, and nations where God revealed Himself, judged rulers, raised prophets, delivered His people, and fulfilled His promises.
WHAT YOU SPEAK OVER YOUR LIFE MATTERS… If you constantly say “I’m broke, I’m stressed, I’m miserable, I’m anxious, I’m lonely, I’m tired of life”… eventually your mind, body, and spirit start agreeing with those words. Some people are unknowingly cursing their own lives with the things they repeatedly speak out loud. Start speaking differently over yourself. “I am at peace. I am loved. I am healthy. I am protected. I am blessed. I have everything I need.” Your words carry power.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of my mother. On this Mother’s Day, bless her with peace, strength, joy, and good health. Fill her heart with Your love and surround her with happiness every day. Reward her for every sacrifice, every prayer, and every act of love she has given to her family.
Lord, protect her, guide her, and let her always feel valued and cherished. May Your grace shine upon her life today and always.
In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏

I want to be clear.
Mansoor Delane is a good player. I think he’ll be a good corner.
I’m upset about the process. Also, the one position they have been consistently able to develop is corner and they have way bigger holes on the roster.
Again. Delane is good, process is bad.
Get into your Bible.
I'm a mental health therapist, and I charge two hundred bucks an hour. That is average for my profession.
People often come to me for anxiety and depression
For my Christian clients, the ultimate reason their depression or anxiety goes away isn't because of me, but because by the end of therapy, they are reading their bibles and applying Christian values to their lives. Daily.
Read your dusty Bible and your mental health issues will improve.
I met a 92 year old lady with dementia at a nursing home today, and she prayed over me! She only remembers Jesus, nothing else, not family or friends…. Just JESUS and that’s all she talks about 🥺 she repeats herself about Jesus, but when she got started the Holy Spirit took over and I tell you the Holy Spirit had me in tears, she prayed and ministered to me. What a blessing it was for me to be there and in Gods presence with her. I am so thankful I got the opportunity to volunteer today.
All the Glory goes to God 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️
Lamentations 3:22-23 - His mercies are new every morning. Not every year. Not every season. Every. Morning. Meaning whatever yesterday drained from you, God already scheduled a refill for 6am.
