We are also praying for:

We ask the Lord for mercy over Armando, and for strength and the peace that surpasses all understanding for his beloved wife, sons and grandchildren in the days ahead.

Tonight's Devotional was shared by Lori, and I love how she approaches this as a therapist and a BELIEVER!😌 Thank you, dearest Lori! 🤍
Isaiah 40:31
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
We have all been living through unprecedented times. We have all experienced loses, and some more than others. Many of us have lost loved ones. Others have lost jobs or income. Educational opportunities and memories have passed without fan fair or celebrations. And ALL OF US have lost a sense of NORMALCY.
Many friends, colleagues and even family members have talked to me about feelings of sadness, anxiety and other emotions that don't feel----"normal".
Please allow me to be clear. If you feel overwhelmed or distressed by any of those feelings, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
But if they are feelings that seem to come and go occasionally, know that our Creator God created us with the ability to recognize when something is off within us, and ways to help ourselves before we are facing more serious situations. AGAIN: THIS LIST IS NOT INTENDED FOR MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES, NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE MEDICAL OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
Below, you will find a list of tips on how to help yourself identify and address feelings that are not usually you.
I think it's important to tell you that the CHURCH provides for each tip listed. It IS God's way of providing not just for our spiritual health, but also for our mental and emotional health as well. Isn't He Wonderful?
Take good care of yourselves and each other. Look out for each other and pay attention to when someone you know doesn't seem like themselves. Then be willing to help by talking less and listening more. We all need each other! 🤝
