As shocking as it may sound, unresolved trauma, and emotional suppression can dysregulate the nervous and immune systems, affect sleep, elevate inflammation, and increase the risk of a range of health problems.
For people already predisposed to autoimmune conditions, these factors may influence symptom severity or flare-ups
Heavenly Father,
I come to You with my fears and anxiety. You know every burden on my heart. Please calm my mind, strengthen my spirit, and fill me with Your perfect peace.
Remind me that You are always with me, and that I do not have to face anything alone. Help me to trust You instead of my fears. Give me courage for today and hope for tomorrow.
Lord Jesus, replace my anxiety with Your peace, my weakness with Your strength, and my worry with unwavering faith. Guard my heart and mind, and let Your presence bring me comfort.
Thank You for Your unfailing love and for holding me securely in Your hands. I choose to trust You, no matter what comes.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Any time you’re about to step into a new level, the enemy will attack. He doesn’t want you to fulfill your purpose. He’s okay if you stay where you are. But when you start to move forward and take new ground, break out of limitations, don’t be surprised if you face resistance. That’s a sign you’re about to step into a greater level, greater favor, greater influence, greater opportunity.
God is saying to you today: Never forget, I am always with you. In the good times and the bad times. On the mountaintops and in the valleys. In joy and in tears. In blessings and in trials. Whatever you are going through, I am right there with you every step of the way. Trust me to take care of you in every season of your life.
Can we talk about this for a minute? “I love You, Lord, my strength.” — Psalm 18:1
Notice that David didn’t say, “I love You, Lord, because life has been easy.” He called God his strength because he knew exhaustion, betrayal, misunderstanding, and attacks. He spent years running from King Saul, hiding in caves, and facing battles that should have broken him. Yet through every hardship, God remained his source of strength.
In the story of David and Goliath, everyone else saw a giant they couldn’t defeat. David saw a God who had never failed him. His confidence wasn’t in himself it was in the Lord.
Maybe you’re facing a giant today: anxiety, heartbreak, financial stress, or uncertainty. The same God who strengthened David is walking with you. Sis, your strength doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from knowing who holds your future.
If you’re tired, lean on Him. If you’re discouraged, trust Him. If you’re carrying more than you can handle, give it to Him. The battle may be big, but your God is bigger. One day you’ll realize it wasn’t your own strength that carried you through it was God all along. 🤍
Too often, we put these conditions on God and conditions on our prayers. “God, I’ll be happy if my boss moves to the back side of Mars. When you get him out of my life, then I’ll have a good attitude.” Have you ever thought that God is using that person to do a work in you, to develop your character, to teach you to love those who are not very lovable? Instead of saying, “God, get me out of this situation.” Pray, “God, come into this situation. Help me to have a good attitude, help me to do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening.”
God parts Red Seas. He’ll slay your giants. He’ll call you out of the shepherds’ fields and anoint you when you’re overlooked. He’ll close the mouths of hungry lions. He opens prison doors in the midnight hour. If Lazarus were here, he would tell you, “Even when you’re in a tomb, wrapped in grave clothes, He’ll call you back to life to finish your assignment.”
