The alpha state of mind is the when the mind is receptive to more receiving information and memorizing the information given. When in the alpha state the brain is between 7 and 14 hz. This state of mind also helps you to be less critical and creative. Edison, Einstein, and many other brilliant thinkers considered a daily ritual of accessing an alpha state of mind essential to their work. 

According to https://www.mindtosucceed.com/, When we utilize the alpha state, we have better memory and recall. And because we are calmer, we tend to be more focused and make better decisions.

Again we have the power to live stress free. Let's work on renewing our mind. Encouraging everywhere to become more aware of your thoughts and to be more optimistic picturing greater for yourself. So let's utilize our powers God has given us, gather our peace, take a deep breath, and put overdrive in park. Go for a walk, have some tea, practice yoga, meditate, visit a nearby lake, or listen to some music but let's silence the stress and let God do the rest!

New Covenant = New Grace

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

The new covenant we’re living by now is something to be forever grateful for. It’s a better covenant that is far superior to the old. The old covenant was kept with the blood of animals, but the new was finalized with the sinless blood of Jesus Christ. Under this new covenant, Jesus fulfilled or kept all of the Law of the old covenant and died to pay for all our sins and mistakes, and we can now live an abundant, godly life by His grace.

Jesus took the punishment that we deserved and promised that if we would believe in Him and accept what He did for us, He would forever stand in our place, and our responsibility to keep the Law would be fully met in Him. The old covenant focused on what man could do, but the new covenant focuses on what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. Thank You, Jesus!

(Note: If you’d like to study this further, read Hebrews 8 and 9!)

Prayer Starter: Father, thank You that I can live in the powerful, freeing work of Your new covenant. Thank You for loving me enough to send Jesus to pay for my sins and so I could live in an intimate, personal relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
