Boy oh boy, it’s an understatement to say that it has been rather interesting and unexpected beginning to 2021. So we thought it would be a perfect topic to look at a few solid strategies of how we can find peace amidst the storm!

 Science has proven time and time again that stress is the biggest strain on our ability to cope with the challenges and changes we face.  Panic can often bring with it uncontrollable fear and anxiety which narrows our thinking, and makes us an island of one at a time when we need each other more than ever. 

 Our takeaway today is to focus on the things we can control instead of the main circumstances outside of our ability to change.  It’s a perfect time to slow down and be more aware of God’s presence in our lives, even when chaos abounds and our focus is being diverted away.  

 When it comes down to key insights of how to soak in more of God’s presence, we have loved the insights from John...

We thought it would be a perfect time to affirm the source of goodness that exists in all of our lives. 

When we are thankful, we create an opportunity to magnify the goodness and it gives us the potential to thread together a life of being grateful.

And gratitude is deeply important because it helps us feel good, but also because it helps us do good. 

So today we choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills our hearts, the peace that surrounds us as we trust in Him, and the voice of hope that reminds us that all things are possible with God. 

And on that note, we pray your heart would be inspired by some timeless wisdom around giving thanks...
