A Day Hemmed in Prayer Rarely Unravels

Even without being religious, I love that thought. Another way of saying it is that setting a morning intention to be connected to a personal source of spiritual empowerment, and expressing an evening gratitude having faith in that connection, is protective as well as productive.

That's especially true when we're in a high stress-high fear-high anxiety-feeling slammed and overwhelmed-cycle. And that's often the time when many of us forget to call on that source, whatever it may be for us individually. Just as stress, fear, and anxiety are frequently the result of the story we tell ourselves, personal empowerment also starts with the thoughts we hold, and beliefs we invest in.

What beliefs about yourself are you investing in today?

What source of spiritual or personal empowerment do you have faith in, in the face of stress, fear, anxiety, and overwhelm?

Are these beliefs and faith freeing or binding?

What serves you best? If you aren't already feeling empowered, when will you give yourself that?
