Courageous Obedience Moment:
From Calm Your Anxiety by Robert J. Morgan
"Equipping yourself with Scriptures will help your mind be trained to move from panic to peace, from worry to worship, and from anxiety to confident trust. Identify three scriptures that will help you make these movements. Recite them each day until you've memorized them."
Be blessed my friend.
