Lesson learned the past few days:
If your thoughts are really making you anxious because you are really worried about something that may happen, try keeping the thought patterns going while singing "Sing Hallelujah To The Lord", so far I can't keep the thoughts going. This idea came from the back of the novel A Touch Of Grace where the character was trying to bring their thoughts into captivity?

On my Prayer List:
?

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
2 Corinthians 10:5
