Quote of the day- https://www.goalcast.com/2017/07/27/7-oprah-winfrey-quotes-to-charge-your-day-with-gratitude/

Our mind affects our emotions which then influences our actions.

We have to learn to think of things that will benefit us and focus on that. We aren't here for misery, the enemy wants us to think that. We are here to enjoy our lives. Jesus came to give us life more abundantly. 

Scripture of the day-Psalm 52:8

But I am like an olive tree
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.

June is national Men's Health Month

Tip of the day for men's health month-

Tweak your diet

Men's Health Month is a great opportunity to change the way you eat. Cut back on alcohol this month or up your intake of healthy fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir. You can do anything for a month, and if you do it for a month, you can do it for life! (https://nationaltoday.com/national-mens-health-month/)

REMEMBER: 

You have a purpose. We all do. Take charge. Have faith along the way. 

In case you didn't know, today the average life span is 25,550 days. That's how long you will live if you are typical. That's how long you will live if you are typical. Don't you think it would be a wise use of time to set aside (some) of those days to figure out what God wants you to do with the rest of them? 

Again, you have a purpose. We all do. Take charge. Have faith along the way. 

Most of all let God lead you. 

Following God’s Lead

Adapted from the resource The Power of Being Thankful - by Joyce Meyer

God never guides us anywhere that He cannot keep us. If God is leading you to deal with an unpleasant or painful situation in your life, don’t run from it; trust that He’s going to help you, and be thankful that you’re not alone. He’s promised—and He always keeps His promises (see Numbers 23:19)—to be with you at all times and never to leave you or forsake you.

Surrender can be a little scary, especially when we first begin to practice it, because we don’t know exactly what will happen if we yield ourselves to God’s will. However, once we’ve surrendered and we start to experience His peace that passes understanding, we learn quickly that God’s way is better than anything we could ever come up with.

I want to encourage you: Whatever you’re struggling to let go of, bring it to God today. Whether it’s a wound, a dream, a fear, or something else, He can handle it. Cast your care on Him, and let Him take care of you.

Prayer Starter: Father, when I’m not sure what to do or where to go, I choose to trust You. Thank You that You’ve promised to lead me and give me grace to deal with the things I need to take care of today! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
