After sharing my feelings with two of my spiritual sisters, here are the five simple steps they encouraged me to do and I would like to share them with you: How to Beat Anxiety with 5 Simple Steps 1. Seek God and start to fast 2. Get into prayer 3. Journal 4. Blast worship music 5.

Step into the New Year As we step deeper into this new year, it is important for us to stay alert and remain on guard at all times. When feelings of anxiety or negativity come to mind, call them out, cast them down and everything else AGAINST the knowledge of God as Paul encourages us to do in 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 5. My friends, remember this is just the beginning. Feelings come and go, but we have power over them through our tongues (Proverbs 18:21). So, my challenge for you today is to simply speak out what you WILL do in 2021 that you avoided in 2020. Incorporate a few of the tasks mentioned above to give you a head start. Will it be easy?
