GOD'S PROMISES - INSPIRATION

In these times when COVID-19 is wreaking havoc all across the world, it can be hard to find anything that will give us inspiration as we go about our day, especially when our routines have drastically changed.

Everyone has talents big and small that can be put to use during these uncertain times. 

Maybe you can sew and you have left over scraps of material from previous projects and you have been wondering what you can do with them. Find a tutorial online and make face masks. They can be used for yourself, family members or even members of your community.

Maybe you are not working but someone else in your family is and that family member has been meaning to clean out their closet. Offer to clean it out for them. I am sure this would be an awesome help to them and it will also give you a project to keep you occupied for a few hours.  This can give you a sense of helpfulness and normalcy during these difficult times.

Pray and ask God to help provide you with the inspiration you need to help yourself and others during these difficult time.

GOD'S PROMISES - ADDICTION

Addictions come in all forms, some are easy to spot and others not so much. 

You get a raise and see some things you always wanted to buy, you are finally able to afford them so you treat yourself. The next thing you know every week you are shopping most of your paycheck away. This may not seem like an addiction but in a sense it is. You are so addicted to the thrill of being able to afford to shop that you are continually spending money without building a savings for the future. This is an addiction that may be hard to spot.

You try drugs for the first time. You like the feeling so you keep using them. After a while you realize that you need more to help you achieve that good feeling. You know what you are doing is harmful to your body, not to mention your bank account, but you just can't stop trying to achieve that good feeling. This is an addiction that is easy to spot.

No matter what type of addiction you or your loved one may be facing, God can heal them all. Pray for yourself and others that may be dealing with various types of addictions that they may or may not be aware of.  God can heal every addiction!
