Devotional | Staying Focused on Good Things
In the midst of our busy lives, it's easy to become overwhelmed and distracted by the challenges we face each day. As Christian women, it's important to stay focused on good things and that includes primarily staying focused on God and His Word, to maintain a heart full of joy and peace. This devotional will guide you on how to keep your mind and spirit anchored in God's promises throughout the day.
Morning Reflection:
Begin your day by dedicating time to God and setting a positive tone for the hours ahead. Spend a few moments in prayer and reflection, asking God to fill your heart with His peace and guidance. Think also of at least 5 things in your life that you are thankful for right now.

Say aloud or in your mind: Today is a gift from God. I will rejoice and be glad, knowing that He is with me every step of the way.
