Are you tense, tight and stiff? As a result, are you experiencing muscle pain, jaw pain, or headaches?
Are you disappointed, hurt and confused? If so, fear not and do not be dismayed for the Lord Your God is with you! Just RELAX!
To relax means to become less tense, loosen up. If you have accepted Jesus into your heart and life, it means to RELAX in HIS PRESENCE, in HIS LOVE, in HIS HEALING POWER, and in HIS FAITHFULNESS.
In my book, Sensational Living after 60, I share my goal in the spiritual area of my life with you. It is found in Chapter 7; What's Your Trouble? The goal is to RELAX in God's love.
To accomplish RELAXING, I visualize myself leaning back on HIM and taking a very deep breath. Then I lower my jaw, and lower my shoulders and RELAX. I do this in my bath tub and in my favorite chair or in my bed. I have also learned to do it while I'm doing what I'm doing!
When RELAXING, I also visualize myself as being a branch connected to the vine. Drawing from the vine all that I need for life, health and holiness! All that I need for joy and peace.
Staying connected to the vine, who is Jesus, as a vital necessity. Just as the vine is the source of nourishment for the branch, Jesus is our source of life, health and holiness. Apart from Him the Bible says, we can do nothing or have nothing lasting. With HIM all things are possible! Read about the vine and the branch in John 15.
As I practice RELAXING I feel my muscles RELAX and I become less tense, tight and stiff! PTL!
I stop feeling nervous or worried and feel secure in HIS PRESENCE, in HIS LOVE, in HIS HEALING POWER and in HIS FAITHFULNESS!
Psalms 46:10 says in many different versions of the Bible:
Let be, let go, RELAX, be still in My presence and know that I am GOD!
COME TO HIM TODAY and be loved, encouraged, healed and made whole.
Today can be a new day, the beginning of the rest of your life!!! I am convinced if we practice this every day, the rest of our life can be the best!!!
Enjoy your journey, Joan
