What we focus on determines our destination. Lysa TerKeurst said it best when she said, “you steer where you stare.” Can you imagine someone trying to go somewhere as they look the other direction? It’s not possible! When you watch the TV and all you hear all the updates in Ukraine and all you’re watching is the inflation raising at a record pace, gas prices and food prices are rising faster than people can adjust, of course you’re going to feel anxious! While having access to all this information is the first time humanity has truly been connected to issues all over the world, it has also created a more anxious society as a result. As our awareness for issues has increased, our mental health as a whole has plummeted. Let’s be intentional about what we feed our minds because in this day in age, it matters more than you’ll ever know. If I eat junk food, I can expect my body to feel like junk. The same goes for your mind. I promise that if you look and focus on the good news that surrounds us that you will find it as there is plenty to go around. Plus, you’ll find that not only do you have more peace, but you’ll also find that your faith in God will greatly benefit as well.
