Stressed or Blessed

Acquiesce to stress or throw it in the trash? Do you think that you‘re in charge, of your own success? No matter how much you obsess, it won’t help you progress. Cast your cares on God, He said that HE WILL BLESS!

1 Peter 5:5-7
"God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble."

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
