Despite the fact that Jesus got lonely, ugly cried when He was scared, had table-flipping anger and asked “why?” when He felt abandoned by His Father you believe expressing emotional pain means weak faith. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Praying AND seeing a a doctor makes perfect sense if you have a disease but you won’t go to therapy even though your broken heart is killing you. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

You declare that you are fearfully and wonderfully made but resist using the stress release system God gave us because you “hate” crying. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

1. Stop: set a 2 minute timer to sit still.
2. Sense: Listen to, touch, or look at something beautiful.
3. Breathe: Inhale (nose) for 4, hold for 4, then softly exhale (mouth) for 8. Repeat this breathing cycle while you are sitting and sensing.
Stop. Sense. Breathe.
Too often we downplay what we’ve been through because someone else seems to have had it worse but comparison has no role in determining whether you are worthy of healing. You are absolutely worthy!
Although our emotional and spiritual maturity are fully displayed in seasons of great challenge, they are actually forged moment by moment through our heart response to the the frustrations of daily life.
Replace a lie from your youth with the truth you know now: “Ever since I was a kid I believed ______________ but that was a lie. Now I know that I am _____________. “
.
Write it down. Memorize it. Repeat it. IF you feel ready, share your truth here so I can celebrate with you!
Avoid confusing your current position with your future destination. Remember that this is merely a transitional period to prepare you for what’s imminent.

I declare blessed ASSURANCE over you today! If God said it, that settles it. His promise-keeping doesn’t depend on you or anyone else. Your doubts have no effect on His promise. When God promised Sarah that she would…
From doves to ravens to sparrows, scripture uses birds to teach us about emotions. So, when Psalm 91:3 says, “Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and the noisome pestilence.” God is reminding us that He cares about our health physically AND mentally!

life. That's why, THIS MON, WE’re introducing the premiere season of “In the Light w/ Dr. Anita Phillips”, and it’s hitting right. on. time.
Head to Apple Podcasts and Spotify each week to listen in!

-A no-makeup day
-An office with pretty blue walls
Your turn!
When uncertainty runs high tempers tend to follow suit but that won’t get us very far. Our path from anxiety to peace requires us to do “whatsoever things are just” not “whatsoever things are judgmental”. Try compassion instead.

When you remember the “why” of what you are doing, it gives you fuel to keep going. I love helping people, I love encouraging people, I love seeing people find hope in Jesus, I love seeing people set free by the power of his word. I want to be faithful to Jesus. That’s my why.
Wellbeing is the foundation that success is built on. Taking good care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally, and physically helps everything else fall into place.
Everyone is different.
Different people respond to things in different ways.
Different people are encouraged in different ways.
Your way is not the only way.
Or even the right way.
Cut people some slack.
Let them find, or give, hope, peace & encouragement their own way.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God” (2 Cor 1)
