I know this is a busy time of year and how easy it is to get caught up in the rush with so much to do in such a short time. However, I encourage you to allow yourself to take short breaks and let yourself be still for a few moments. Simply stop and turn your thoughts to the Lord.

Ask Him:

• What's most important right NOW?
• What do things look like from your perspective?
• What do you want to say to me about this?

And stop and listen for His reply.

I believe that God is calling all of us to stretch our vision, reach out for more and step out in faith...to live an ON PURPOSE life rather than a mediocre one.

My aim with the 5 Minute Life Coach is to give you strategies and tools, and help you to develop the mindset you need to BE the person God called you to be and DO the works He called you to do.

Today's coaching moment shares simple ways to get past anxiety and back to a place of peace.

Pay close attention to the coaching article because this is where many people get tripped up – when you deal with anxieties as they arise, and choose to face life with courage knowing that nothing touches you that has not passed through the hands of your heavenly Father first, life will take on a new perspective and you'll find reserves of courage that you didn't know you had.

As rain refreshes dry parched land may the Spirit of God wash over you and renew your strength. May the Son of Righteousness shine upon you and light your path. Be blessed to be a blessing

The Simple Cure For Stress & Anxiety

Thankfulness is a powerful spiritual weapon. Few things will transform your life more than thanksgiving. Thessalonians 5:16-18 says,

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Notice that it says to give thanks in EVERYTHING, that means in EVERY situation. Why? Because God wants you to!

If you REALLY believe that God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, then giving thanks in the midst of all things becomes much easier.

When you choose to obey God and give thanks, you begin to rise above the circumstances and start walking in faith, truly believing that God really will work all things together for good.

He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honours Me; and to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God"(Psalm 50:23)

Stop and think about that for a moment.

It says that when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving you honour God. It also promises that when you line your life up with God's ways He will show you salvation.

Sadly many Israelites died in the wilderness without ever reaching their Promised Land. Why? Because instead of continuing to trust God they grumbled and complained.

Where grumbling and complaining get you

Have you ever noticed that people who grumble and complain tend to spend their lives going around in circles just like the Israelites did? Grumbling and complaining ROB you of God's blessing.

It takes active faith to inherit God's promises and put yourself in the path of blessing. I strongly encourage you to decide now that you will put an end to complaining and choose instead to do things God's way and be thankful in all things.

An attitude of thankfulness WILL transform your life and bring you closer to fulfilling your destiny with joy and peace.

Stop for a moment and think about how you might have been contributing to your current circumstances.

What will you do instead?

When you start your day by telling the Lord what you are thankful for and remember to continue being thankful throughout the day, you will find it so much easier to abide in God's presence. YOU will be happier as a result, the people around you will benefit, and I'm sure you will find that life works MUCH better.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind."

When you start feeling stressed or anxious about things, talk to God and thank Him that He is working everything together for good. Encourage your heart and remind yourself of what the Lord has already done AND WHAT HE HAS PROMISED.

Thanksgiving will guard your heart, keep you peaceful in the midst of trials, help you to walk through life trusting God AND open the door to blessing.

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." Mother Teresa
