Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 (NLT) There is wisdom in finding a healthy balance in life. Knowing when to say no or taking a break are necessary to truly take time to rest your mind, body and soul. While making plans and checking off your to do list, make time for you and intentionally prepare for self-care. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. Prov. 12:11 (NIV) God regulate our minds to be in alignment with you and what you desire for us. When we get distracted please get us back on track. When we are stuck or hindered by lack of motivation loving redirect us to your plan and purpose for our life. Help us to do all that we do as if it were unto you. Where we lack commitment renew our passion. Where we lack energy and enthusiasm renew our desire. Where we have given up restore our hope. Where we lack focus deliver us from all that is designed to be a distraction to hold us back. Let us be fully attentive to the work you have laid before us and help us to do it with integrity and joy. We come against the spirit of procrastination and stagnation and seek your face to help us to press forward. ADaubon

Never Alone

But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14 (NIV) When faced with uncertainty turn to our consistent God. All that He has done before He is faithful to do again and again. When you’re tempted to doubt, remember and recall all that God has proven He can do throughout time and in your life. As situations change and the vicissitudes of life continue to come hold on to God’s unchanging hand. When anxiety tries to consume you, surrender all your thoughts and concerns to the Lord. Trust Him with all your heart and believe without wavering that He who called you unto Himself is faithful to keep you all the days of your life. There is absolutely nothing that you are going through that is beyond His reach. Because He still sits on the throne you are never alone. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Don’t Sway, Delay or Run Away

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. 1 Timothy 1:12 (NIV) Each of us are called for a purpose and were created for a reason. God gives us the strength to accomplish all that He desires through us. When faced with doubt remember whom He calls He fully prepares. When under attack don’t doubt that God will continue to fulfill for you and through you all that He prepared before the foundation of the earth, so hold on. Stay committed to the call, no matter what comes your way. You are appointed and anointed for such a time as this. Don’t sway, delay or run away. Press forward with the power of God. He goes before you. His love surrounds you and He has your back. You’re covered. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 (NIV) I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13 (NIV) Seek God for all things and believe in the impossible. Stay prayed up and remain steady in your faith.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And make the work of our hands stand strong. Yes, make the work of our hands stand strong. Psalm 90:17 (NIV) It is easy to get preoccupied with working that we lose sight of making sure that all that we endeavor remains in the will of God. When He directs our path, He opens doors for us that no man can close and closes doors in order to point us in the right direction. In all that we do, let Christ be our compass to take us down the path of His will and purpose. All that we do is for His Glory and to accomplish His will. The favor of the Lord is upon us to complete and accomplish our God given assignment. Surrender the work of your hands to Him and be firmly established to stand and withstand today and forever more. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously—take God seriously. Micah 6:8 (Message) There is a model that we are called to follow and the standard has been set. Treat others with the utmost care. Let love be your guide and kindness be your compass. Genuinely seek the good and well-being of others as you travel along your journey. No matter how far you get remain grounded in humility. Whatever God gives you the ability to do, be grateful. Every day and every opportunity are gifts from God. Let His light shine in you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart, “Be strong, fear not! Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly]; The retribution of God will come, But He will save you.” Isaiah 35:4 (AMP.) When fear and anxiety comes knocking, let faith answer the door. Press Forward! ADaubon

His Hand Is Upon You

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8 (NLT) In times of uncertainty God reminds us that He will lead and guide us in the way that we should go. He knows what is before us and sees farther than our eyes could imagine. His infinite wisdom knows everything. Ease your heart and calm your racing thoughts. Know that God has a path that is orchestrated and developed just for you. Your challenges and stumbling blocks are no surprise to Him. In fact, He has gone before you and planned your survival through His providential care. So, when life tries to intimidate you with its ups and downs, find steady ground in the Lord. He has you and all that concerns you in the palm of His hand. He watches over you with a loving eye. His hand is upon you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
