What are you facing today? Maybe it’s a challenging... relationship, a difficult situation, or a circumstance out of your control. Imagine what could happen if you gave it to God. Today, take that thing you’re facing, and talk to Him about it. Ask Him to lighten your load, and to show you the way through it. “𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵.” — Colossians 4:2 NLTshow more

Are you holding onto something that God never asked... you to pick up? Maybe it’s anxiety over a situation in your life, pain from a broken relationship, or stress about the future. It’s time to lay it down and give it back to Him. He will give you rest. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 NIV Encourage someone with this today!show more

If it’s on your mind, why aren’t you praying... about it? “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨; 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦.” — Philippians 4:6 NLT It’s not “pray about some things,” or “pray about most things.” It’s everything. Sometimes it's easy to forget that God wants us to bring things to him continually. So today, don’t just pray about some of the things you’re facing. Pause. Be still. And bring everything to God.show more

God’s Word tells us He is close to the... brokenhearted. Not just the people who are full of joy—but those who are struggling, too. Maybe that’s you. If you feel like you’re holding on to God for dear life right now, remember: He’s holding you even closer than you could ever imagine. Today, save Psalms 34:18 in the Bible App as a reminder that no matter your circumstance or situation, God is with you. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘋 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥; 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥.” — Psalms 34:18 NLTshow more

How often do your distractions lead you away from... God? When you take your eyes off something, you can lose your focus. Imagine walking on a balance beam. If you take your eyes off your goal even for a moment, you can stumble right off. So today, sit with God, and ask Him to keep your focus on what He has for. “𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩; 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺!” — 1 Chronicles 16:11 ESV Who can you encourage with this today?

Sometimes, we become so focused on figuring everything out,... forcing outcomes, and making things happen that we forget the power of simply asking and allowing. Get clear about what you want. Ask with intention. Believe that it is possible, and then release the need to control every detail of how it will happen. When you shift from constant struggle to trust and expectation, you open yourself to possibilities you may never have imagined. 🌟 Want to deepen your understanding of abundance and the power of your thoughts?

🚨 Ajinkya Rahane revealed the story behind his decision... to send Yashasvi Jaiswal off the field. 🗣️ " I sensed the situation and also I felt it was going out of hand, both the players were going out of hand and it was my responsibility to control my teammates. You respect the umpires, the officials who are on field, who are controlling the game, who are officiating the game and also the situations. Mistakes can happen to anyone, but you, as a player, you be in that limit. So, I sensed the situation, what can happen next, it was my instant reaction to send him off the field. As a player, I also felt that he must have felt bad, I said, okay, if he felt bad about me, it's okay. But I think, that point in time, it was a good thing for him. The thing which I told him about, go in from the back, put ice on your head and come back "show more

I want this to hit home for you today.... You might be reading this knowing you’ve been putting yourself last. Maybe you’re coming out of a tough breakup. Maybe you’re a mom just trying to find a moment for yourself. Maybe you’ve worked your whole life and the thought of adding one more thing feels exhausting. Or maybe you just don’t feel the urge to do more at all. We see the word motivation thrown around everywhere, but here’s the truth. Motivation doesn’t solve problems. It’s that spark of excitement at the start, but when it fades, you’re left with two choices. You either build discipline, or you slip back into old habits. And if right now you don’t feel like you have the strength to want better for yourself, think about the people who love you. They want you here for the long run. They want you at birthdays, at weddings, at family moments that matter. Your partner wants to see you healthy so you can build a future together and pass those habits down to your children. Maybe your reason to change doesn’t start with you, but it can become about you once you decide to try. When you are ready to take charge of your health and transform your lifestyle, working with me is an investment in your best self. ➡️Click the link apply & start your journey Your future self will thank you for the commitment you make today. 💞show more

Marcus Freeman said, "You can't talk your way into... winning a National Championship. You can't talk your way into being a Hall of Famer...You got to work and you got to constantly focus on improvement." You have to show up and do the work. Your work ethic is something that you can control. • It means competing. • It means committing. • It means showing up consistently. People see success, but they don't see the hard work and preparation it takes. 5 Steps to Improve Your Work Ethic and Focus: 1. Be Intentional About How Your Work - Show up every day with a clear purpose on what you will prepare and why. Think about the quality of your practice, the details, and reflect on where to focus most. This approach ensures your working towards improvement and growth. 2. Show up Committed Every Day - Don't just participate, show up, and commit. It means compete and choose to go above-and-beyond every day. Have a positive attitude and dedicate yourself to what you are doing. When you're focused, present, and engaged that is when growth starts to happen. 3. Be Consistent - You have to be consistent with your habits and work ethic. It means committing to the process of improving and putting in the time. Success doesn't happen overnight, it's the result of consistently showing up and doing the work day in and day out. 4. Prepare Mentally and Physically - This means think about your physical and mental state when you are practicing and when you will perform. Understand what environment allows you to perform your best. Use mindfulness to think about the connection between your mind and body. 5. Create a Plan for When Obstacles Arise - Don’t just imagine the great outcome, visualize what may stop you from reaching it. Prepare for the obstacles. Write them down and plan how you’ll overcome them. This keeps you prepared and resilient when challenges come your way. Takeaway: Talent can you get you into many rooms, but it's your work ethic, focus, and attitude that keep you there. - - - The video comes from Marcus Freeman's interview with Pivot Podcast.

When I say “beans and rice, rice and beans,”... I don’t actually mean only eat rice and beans. What it represents is so much more than a low grocery bill. It’s about short-term sacrifice for the long-term win. You can do anything for a few months, even a few years to set yourself up for a lifetime of success. You have to live on less than you make in order to pay off debt, in order to save and invest, in order to be generous. You can’t spend more than you make and end up anywhere except bankruptcy court. And people are doing it every day, everywhere. The stuff I talk about is not hard to understand. It’s very hard to actually go and do it. You’ve got to decide you’re going to DO it. Day in and day out, you’ve drawn a line in the sand, and you are NOT going back. No more excuses. You’re taking control of your actions and your life. You’re ready to make your money work for YOU, not the other way around. Are you ready to change your life?show more
