- Remember EVERY promise in the Bible must come true for God’s faithful children.. “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” Numbers 23:19
God wants to give you peace all you have to do is ask for it and protect it. “The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.” Psalm 29:11

7 things for you to focus on in hard times:
1. Dream Big. What plans have you put to the side? Want to write a book, exercise more, plan a business, etc.? Life has a way of getting in the way of our dreams… What’s blocking you – kids, work, school, and/or lack of time and energy? Do you have time to do any of those things now? If you don’t that’s okay. But if you do… Consider making very small steps.
I’ve been writing a book, spending time with family, and God during this time. I have a strict schedule that I’ve been following to ensure I get all my tasks done. I check off everything I’ve accomplished at the end of the day. It keeps me focused and gives me purpose for each day. What have your been doing?
This is a great time to brainstorm or begin working on projects. You have a purpose and it’s important. What can you do to bring your GOD given purpose to this earth? Remember, it’s Queens like you that make the world a better place.

3. Pray. Pray for someone. Or, If you need prayer feel free to reply to this email and let me know. I would be happy to set up a conference call or email you so that we can pray over your life. Either way, I’m praying for you right now!!
4. Heal. Are you okay being alone with yourself? If you are not, that may indicate that you need some emotional healing. It may be time to begin that process. Let God inside your heart and mind, to become more healed and whole.
5. Spend some of your time with family. This is your chance to play all the childhood games with your family. Love each other well.

4. Repeat God’s promise for your life. The Bible promises that God will give you peace and take care of you in times of struggle.
- Are you worried about — paying rent, bills, putting food in the fridge, health, etc.? God will take care of you… “ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:7-12
- If you need peace just repeat one of these verses when fear comes up:
- “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3
- “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33
- “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
