So, are collagen supplements worth the investment? 
That depends on your goal. Collagen supplements appear to be effective for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Research also supports their use for reducing joint pain, stiffness, and degeneration. However, the evidence is not convincing for collagen supplements when it comes to treating hair loss, brittle nails, osteoporosis, periodontitis, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, and liver disease. 

To see the benefits of collagen peptides, you need 2.5 grams daily. The rest of your protein should come from quality sources such as grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and eggs, lean pork raised without hormones, wild-caught salmon, and other low-mercury fish and seafood. Vegans should choose minimally-processed soy products, beans, peas, lentils, and whole grains.

The Truth About Cancer Featuring: Fight Cancer and Live a Healthier Life with Celery and Eat Celery to Improve Your Health

If you think celery is only good for lowering blood pressure, think again! On the other hand, if you already enjoy celery in your diet, you’re lowering your risk of cancer.

Celery contains compounds that help repel cancer cells! You read that right… eating celery is a natural cancer preventative! 

 The extensive health benefits of celery might surprise you. This plant has been known for its medicinal properties since the 9th century. It belongs to the Apiaceae (also known as Umbelliferae) family which includes parsley, carrots, fennel, coriander, parsnips, cumin, and others.

Though celery is an excellent anti-cancer food, its numerous health benefits make it a perfect choice for your healthy diet. The celery plant is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals such as: A, C, K, folate, molybdenum, potassium, fiber, and other healthy components. 

Watch the video to discover several of these health benefits. Then click here to learn more:
Eat Celery to Improve Your Health


By: Roosie Buzz

Great article about celery. Find out the benefits of this great vegetable plus ways how you can add more celery to your diet.




The reason celery is so low in calories is because it is so high in water content. Fresh, light green celery with glossy ribs is the best for eating. Celery is truly economical; all parts of the plant are edible and one cup contains only about twenty calories. There is no waste. It’s a great food and has a number of known health benefits.

Celery can provide a sense of calmness. It can also help lower blood pressure. People with gout should be fans of celery because it lowers uric acid. Drinking fresh celery juice is said to reduce appetite. Taken before a meal it may help with weight loss.

People seldom think of celery as a real food in and of itself. In today’s culinary world, celery is used as a seasoning, a garnish or a snack, but Hippocrates considered it a medicine and recommended it for kidney health.

High in calcium and Vitamin C, celery should be a part of your daily diet. It is an excellent finger food and best when eaten raw. Avoid the large, fibrous bottom ends and for best flavor, store celery in a part of the refrigerator where it won’t freeze.


One of the complaints about celery is that it is boring and the flavor tends to be bitter. Celery ribs make perfect little boats for holding more flavorful fare. Fill them with peanut butter and pair with an apple and a serving of cottage cheese for a light but tasty breakfast. They are excellent when used for dipping sticks with egg salad or chicken salad. An individual serving removes the dislike of "double dipping." Celery is delicious with a variety of cheeses and makes a perfect boat for pimento spread.

Chunks of celery, apple, pineapple, walnuts and chicken can be combined with a light mayonnaise for a quick and easy salad. Chunks of havarti cheese make a good substitute for chicken when you feel like a meatless salad. This salad can be served with or without addition of lettuce. Celery seed is an excellent addition to any salad. The intensity of its flavor may surprise you. It adds a real kick to any cold seafood dish.

If you are fortunate enough to have a juicer, blend celery, carrots, apple and tomato for a bright flavorful juice. Seasoned with a touch of salt and lemon, it makes a great mid-afternoon snack.For those who wish to eat more celery on a regular basis, it can be added to any soup or vegetable dish.

Celery can also be grilled. A light spray of olive oil and it is ready for the grill. Don’t overcook it and serve with lemon, pepper and a dollop of low fat sour cream. A few stalks of fresh celery and a little imagination will brighten up your daily food intake.

Tyreek hill Crazy Workout Routine and Power Up Your Game With This Intense 5-Day Football Workout! Presented on US Sports Net By BBcom

Power Up Your Game With This Intense 5-Day Football Workout!

5 great workouts for football. As a football coach, I also incorporate these into my strength training program. Try these workouts and watch your progress take off!
Power Up Your Game With This Intense 5-Day Football Workout!
In this article I would like to lay the foundation for a new workout I have been making great progress with. Every person that has used this workout has put on an amazing amount of size as well as strength gains like nothing before.
After turning 40 and believing that the best was behind me I proved myself and anyone who thinks 40 means it's downhill ... well baby, lookout! Not only did I compete successfully at the semi-pro football level the last couple of years (I just turned 43 in Aug), but I also lifted weight in exercises that were from 10-15 years ago—I benched 500 lbs for 3 reps, did a single with close to 600 lbs, did squats with 600 lbs for sets of 6, and inclined well over 400 lbs for reps!
I know what your thinking, Mitch hooked up with the gym doc and started a cycle of those secret supps. Oh ye of little faith! I did supplement with creatine, NO2 and tribulus as well as a good weight gainer. However, the biggest change was in my workouts. I was starting to feel it in my joints as well as just not getting the results I expected!
After some serious prayer and contemplation I felt inspired to write out a new program. After the initial pouring out of the workout itself I was surprised at the simplicity and common sense that went hand-in-hand with this workout.
I will lay out basic sets and reps, but first a little common sense explanation. Most of the time we blast a body part or two and wait a number of days before we do it again. The problem is that it is such a guessing game of just how long we need to wait after one particular body part in order for the next time we hit that area for it to be effective.
The uniqueness of this workout is that no major body part is killed in any one day, instead it is hit over a few days in succession. The larger body parts (legs, chest, back) are usually done over two days. Whereas arms, for example, are done over several days so they can be killed but not OVER KILLED for max gains. I am also a football coach and our strength training program is using this workout right now.
I have several young men making great gains as well as many women in my gym. Try this workout for at least 4 months and then take a short break (a few weeks) from the high intensity training before continuing. Click here to view the workout........

Conclusion

"I'm sure I'll receive plenty of emails on the fine tuning aspects, just remember to use the first 12 as a good warm-up and increase weight to a point of near failure for each set after - The last 12 should be 10-20% heavier than the first set of 12. Good luck and may the Lord bless all your efforts!" -Mitch Hodge "The Hammer"

Overcriminalization of America

By: Fred Eghobor

Civil society flourishes when its people – young or old, black or white or brown – can trust that justice will be dispensed without fear or favor.

The American criminal justice system presently is broken, and an example of justice run amok. The system has deteriorated to a point whereby innocent people are being imprisoned even with the lack of sufficient evidence. For the real criminals, punishments are often not commensurate with the crime. Presently, many non-violent offenders serve more time behind bars than murderers, rapists, and armed robbers. Consequently, the criminal justice system does more harm than good – destroying lives, shattering dreams and crushing hopes and aspirations for happiness.




Being the world’s largest democracy is supposed to make America a faithful steward of the fairest and finest legal system the world has ever known. However, the U.S. legal system runs counter to traditional American core values. 25% of total global prisoners reside in the U.S. even though America is only about 3% of the world’s population. About 7 million are now under some form of penal supervision, and roughly 100 million people have criminal records.

Presently, the U.S. lead the world in highest prison population, longest prison time, most business deals for contractors and lobbyists, and highest recidivism rate.

The credo of legal jurisprudence in any civilized dispensation is that the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent jurisdiction. However, in the United States of America, the reverse is the case due to its misguided penal policies.


Image result for tacticalworkouts.com
Under normal circumstances, obeying the law is enough to shield anyone from trouble. Unfortunately, the current dispensation is hardly normal and being careful in private or public life does not insulate against being caught in the cobweb of the numerous laws and regulations that are the hallmarks of the criminal justice system. Stories of prosecutorial abuse run like a horror movie and the fear of prosecutors "is the beginning of wisdom." They take to the extreme the dangerous impulse to punish perceived offenders – real or imagined. Prosecutors have enormous power and discretion to pick and choose who goes to jail and who does not. Reports of unwarranted arrests, police brutality, senseless prosecutions, and mass incarceration are a commonplace to the extent that the country’s legal system is teetering dangerously towards a precipice.

The visible signs of pain and anguish can be seen in many families devastated by the imprisonment of a loved one and the so-called respect for human rights can only be thought of in comparative terms. The lack of a guilty mind no longer matters in criminal cases in U.S. courts. As a result, the nation has drifted from the core foundations and principles on which the Union was built, which add up to one concept and one word: freedom. In the context of the nation’s criminal justice system, this "American Creed" lies in tatters.


Although lawmakers can do more to remedy the situation, because of political expediency, the legislative arm of government continue to enact laws and regulations that criminalize harmless acts.

While many of us believe that it is the responsibility of the government to punish criminals for public safety and security, and the fact that society has a right to demand punishment for wrongdoers, however, this fundamental tenet must operate within a justice system that is equal and fair. Punishment must fit the crime, and the innocent must not suffer unjustly for crimes not committed.

There is no justification for mass incarceration; it could no longer be defended morally. America needs a more rational and sensible justice system, one that is fair – a people’s justice system – that all can trust to protect them while punishing offenders appropriately and ensuring that innocent people are not unfairly prosecuted or imprisoned. Only a reformed justice system can give practical meaning to the noble ideals on which the nation was founded. A commonsense approach to the criminal justice system in American might someday be possible, but not anytime soon given the interplay of politics and business within it.

In my book, American Criminal Justice System, Inc: Rogue Criminal Prosecution in an Era of Mass Incarceration, I presented compelling arguments of how government prosecutors and their cronies use crazy laws, plea bargain, false witnesses and other unwholesome tactics to oppress its people. With so many locked up, the United States has become a nation that feeds on its own.

Naturally Cancer is Curable But Only Naturally

By: Alan Wighton


Cancer is a wake up call; it’s your body telling you that you’ve done something wrong so your focus has to be to correct the reasons which caused it to appear. We have been brainwashed today into believing that cancer has appeared because of chance or bad luck and must be removed quickly or it will spread. That is not true. What the body needs is to address the reasons why it grew in the first place and that can only be achieved naturally.

Over the years there have been many false claims about cancer, the biggest one is that it needs to be removed quickly, regardless of the side effects of the treatment. What you won’t be told is that you need to make some changes, especially dietary ones to stop it from spreading because that’s when it becomes a killer. Just removing it by surgery, radiation or chemotherapy won’t stop it spreading to another location and that’s why so many people are dying of the disease.

Learn about cancer, especially its causes because there can never be a real cure until you remove its causes. The best doctor you have is inside your own body and it’s called the immune system. It’s a known fact that all cancers are a result of an immune system that wasn’t functioning properly and allowed cancer cells to develop so that has to be your first priority. Strengthen your immune system.


Everybody except the patient is doing well now days in the business of treating cancer and the current methods are appallingly ineffective. The reasons being they focus solely on the growths themselves and the growths are not the problem. They’re only a symptom of the problem. The definition of a symptom is an indication that something is wrong and it’s the whole body where the problem is.

Our mainstream medical professionals don’t support natural treatments because they are trained by the pharmaceutical industry. These industries are one of the most powerful and profitable businesses in the world and because there is money involved, is the reason why you won’t be told about simple ways to heal the body of cancer naturally. Do you think these industries really want someone to come along with an inexpensive natural non toxic effective cure?

For years we have been told there is no relationship between nutrition and cancer whereas today we know with certainty that what we eat or what we don’t eat causes cancer. Good wholesome food based on a plant based diet will build up the immune system whereas unwholesome food or junk food weakens the immune system. The human body has the capacity to self heal when the immune system is functioning properly.

It’s poor diets, our sedentary lifestyle and a toxic overload which has caused the problem and there is never going to be a pill to solve that. You can’t drug the body back to health and burning the body with radiation won’t help either. Both of these treatments weaken the immune system. They may shrink some of the cancer growths but long term that doesn’t solve the problem.


The way to be cancer free is to get involved and learn about it so you can make changes, especially to a plant based diet which is packed with all kinds of anti cancer substances, many of them more powerful and effective than any drug. The body’s ability to heal itself is remarkable.

NCAA Basketball Bowie State U Hoops Results Vs. VA Union

Virginia Union Panthers Outlast Bowie State's Bulldogs 82-71


BOWIE, Md. - Bowie State suffered an 82-71 loss to conference foe Virginia Union inside the A.C. Jordan Arena before a live ESPN3 audience on Thursday evening. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 13-9 this season, 5-4 in conference play and 1-1 within the division. The victory pushed the Panthers to 12-10 overall, 5-4 in conference play and 2-2 North.

“We weren’t deserving on winning tonight … They outworked us, they out fought us, they outrebounded us and I tip my hat to them”, said Bowie State Head Coach Darrell Brooks.

Bowie State started the game slow as Virginia Union jumped to a quick 13-1 lead at the 17:22 mark. But the Bulldogs chipped away at the Panthers lead and eventually tied the game at 27 apiece at the 6:05 mark. The score for the remainder of the period stayed close as Bowie State finally took the 37-36 lead going into halftime.

Unlike the first half, Bowie State controlled the lead for most of the period. They held it up until the 6:39 mark, when Virginia Union’s Terrell Leach converted on a layup to put the Panthers up, 64-62. With Leach going on a scoring rampage in the second half, the Bulldogs were unable to recapture its lead and eventually saw the game slip out of their hands.

Senior David Belle (Hyattsville, Md.), who scored his 1,000th career point at the 6:34 mark in the first half, led the Bulldogs in scoring with 17 points. Senior Juwan Smith (Lexington Park, Md.) followed up with 13 points. Junior Justin Route (Washington D.C.) added 12 points while seniors Cameron Haynes (Upper Marlboro, Md.) and Saiquan Jamison (Upper Marlboro, Md.) scored 10 points each.

Virginia Union was led by Leach who scored 30 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. Raemaad Wright added 21 points and Jordan Peebles followed up with 12 points.

For the game, Virginia Union shot 55 percent (30-of-55) from the field, 27 percent (3-of-11) behind the 3-point line and made 73 percent (19-of-26) of its free throws. The Panthers dominated inside, outscoring the Bulldogs 50-22 in the paint.

Bowie State shot 39 percent (24-of-61) from the field, 41 percent (10-of-24) from long-distance and made 54 percent (13-of-24) of its free throws. The Bulldogs held advantages in points off turnovers (19-16) and bench points (26-12).

On Saturday (2/1), Bowie State will look to get back into the win column against Virginia State University, in another conference matchup at home.


Bulldog Women’s Basketball Topples Nationally Ranked Virginia Union 49-44

BOWIE, Md. – Junior Talanya Hutton (Seat Pleasant, MD) did a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs as the team beat rivals Virginia Union 49-44 on Thursday evening. The third-year player scored team-high 17 points while Shameka McNeill led the Virginia Union Lady Panthers in scoring with 13 points. Bowie State improves to 17-3, (7-2 CIAA / 1-1 North) while Virginia Union dips to 16-3 overall, 7-2 in league play and 2-2 in the division.
Bowie State played some tough defense and a balanced offensive attack to claim the win. As a team, the Bulldogs held the Lady Panthers to shooting just 33.3 percent (17-of-51) from the floor while shooting only 28.6 percent (14-of-49) from the floor in the game. 
The Lady Panthers took control of the game early in the first quarter by going on a 7-0 run. McNeill hot start gave VUU a 10-1 lead after knocking down a deep three at 7:11. VUU pulled away 14-6 after Ifunanya Okoye’s layup with 2:22 remaining. However, the Bulldogs allowed the Lady Panthers to close the quarter with a pair of free throws to stay ahead, 18-9.
The second quarter had a similar look as the Bulldogs were slow to get started. VUU’s Breonn Hughey deep ball took the Lady Panthers lead to 22-13 at the 5:21 mark. However, BSU would fight back to keep the game close. Senior Dynaisha Christian’s (Pocomoke, Md.) layup made the score 22-20 before Okoye answered with a layup of her own. The Panthers ended the period on top 27-22 after Hughey went 1-2 at the charity stripe.
Bowie State made the third stanza the most competitive even though they were outscored 12-11. Hutton’s deep ball cut the deficit to 27-25 before sophomore Drew Calhoun (New Carrollton, Md.) tied it at 29-all with a three of her own with 7:03 to go. The Lady Panthers would however regain control late in the quarter after McNeill’s layup pushed the lead to 39-33 to end the period.
Although the Bulldogs were outscored 22-14 in the paint, they held an advantage in points off turnover 22-16 after forcing 24 Lady Panthers’ turnovers. Bowie State Senior Shawnkia McCallum (Baltimore, Md.) opened the period with a three pointer at the 5:42 mark. Both teams would go back and forth throughout the quarter with Bowie State grabbing its first lead at 45-44 after Christian’s layup with just 17 seconds remaining in the contest. From there, the Bulldogs would close out the Panthers to capture the victory.
Bowie State returns to action Saturday (2/1) hosting Virginia State University. Tipoff is slated for 2:00 p.m.

Black Beyond Measure: How Black History Month Comes to Life at Target







white text on red background:
As February approaches, voices from across Target have come together to help guests and team members celebrate Black History Month. Throughout the month, our team’s work—including an exclusive product assortment, marketing campaign and team member events—is a reflection of the inclusive experience we strive to create at Target.
Target’s Black History Month assortment puts a spotlight on the heritage, legacy and impact of the black community. Now in its fifth year, the collection is available in hundreds of stores across the country and online, and includes more than 100 items for $29.99 or less. Along with seasonal guest-favorites like apparel (including extended sizes), beauty and home décor, the collection includes new products in food and beverage, stationery and toys.
Browse the gallery below for a few of our favorite finds:


Throughout the month, Target is also shining a spotlight on products from black-owned businesses that are carried in our stores year-round. One-third of the Black History Month products are from black-owned businesses, including Lip Bar and Alikay Naturals, and more than half are exclusive to Target. This year’s Black History Month marketing campaign, Black Beyond Measure, also features black entrepreneurs and Target team members. The campaign name was designed to amplify success stories and celebrate blackness, an uplifting sentiment to empower future generations.
Target’s African American Business Council, which includes more than 1,000 team members, was the driving force behind creating the assortment five years ago and continues to advise our teams on the collection. The team spent months creating meaningful events at our Minneapolis headquarters to help educate and engage team members, as well as celebrate our vendors.
Dozens of members of the Target team have had a hand in bringing this year’s collection, campaign and celebrations to life. Here are three of our team members on what the month, and Target’s efforts, means to them:

team member Melanie on a red background
Melanie Gatewood, Director of Multicultural Merchandise, Minneapolis
On putting together this year’s assortment: “The process started by looking at the items that truly resonated with our guests in last year’s assortment – both on social media as well as from a sales perspective. The items that were most impactful last year were the ones that highlighted individuals with lasting legacies – this is where the theme, Black Beyond Measure, came from. The entire team of more than 20 team members came together to build an assortment that represented as many definitions of success as possible – including stories from entrepreneurs, artists, activists, poets, chefs and more.”
Melanie’s favorite finds: “Personally, I love Mambo Sauce. Growing up in Baltimore, I would visit my sister in D.C. often, and Mambo Sauce is one of those nostalgic items that reminds me of those visits. Guests continue to love the names T-shirts. The Rosa Parks and Katherine Johnson dolls are hits too.”
On the month’s meaning: “Black History Month is two things to me. First, it is a moment to take pride in the amazing accomplishments and perseverance of the Black community – especially those untold stories. Second, it is a moment to reflect on my role in furthering the legacy and impact of Black culture. As it pertains to this assortment, that came through in the blending of items that pay homage to those who came before us with items that allow us to take ownership of driving Black history. A perfect example of this is the ‘I Am Black History’ t-shirt. It’s true – I am a part of Black history every day.”

team member Erica on a teal background
Erica Anderson, Store Director, Atlanta
On putting the assortment front-and-center: “When guests come up the escalators into my store, the Black History Month assortment is directly in front of them. I love how it’s one of the first things they see from the entrance. We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from guests, including how easy it is to find products from the assortment, the cool in-store marketing that features black entrepreneurs and the various options of clothing for the whole family.”
Guest love: “Our guests’ excitement for this collection is priceless! Recently, a mother came in to shop the collection with her two daughters and they were looking at the ‘Inventors’ tee. The daughters were going back and forth naming black inventors and guessing what he or she invented. I found myself joining in with them and having a great time, in awe of their knowledge.”
On the month’s meaning: “Black History Month is a celebration to me. It’s a month of acknowledging and celebrating our achievements. I personally adore Target’s assortment and our work with black business owners. Each year, the assortment gets bigger and better and our guests are loving it!”

team member Kellan on a red background
Kellen Axen, Senior Manager of Reporting and Insights, Minneapolis
Partnering with vendors: I was part of the team that brought Roundel—Target’s media company—into our Black History Month work. From a marketing perspective, I’m most proud of how we partnered with our vendors this year. Here on Roundel, we work closely with a number of amazing vendors, and we invited them to celebrate Black History Month together with us. It makes total sense: These brands have really amazing stories to tell too.
A special shirt: “The ‘I am Black History’ shirt from the assortment has real significance to me. Being biracial, I struggled for a long time with my identity. I let other people tell me that I wasn’t ‘black enough’, and I believed them. It took me all too long to realize that you can’t let those people define who you are. For me, that shirt represents the decision I’ve made to embrace all of who I am. I come from a long line of black success stories, and I’m here because of them. I am Black History, and I’m proud of that.”
On the month’s meaning: “To me, Black History Month is about celebrating the legacy of those who have come before you. I think about my mom and dad, and the courage it took to be a mixed race couple less than 20 years after that became legal in the US. I think about my grandpa, a published author and educator who served in Korea and went on to get his PhD. I think about my grandma, who raised nine children and had an advanced degree herself. I think about the obstacles they overcame, and the values they passed on to me. I think of how I’m working to make things better for my two little girls. I’m proud to be a part of this long legacy. That’s why I love being able to contribute to this assortment, because it matters that kids can see representation of themselves when they walk into our stores.” Learn more................

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3).
God has supplied us with everything we need in life; we lack nothing when we’re in Him. If we want to experience His abundance, it’s important that we don’t harden our hearts to this truth.

Munroe Global Featuring: Understanding The Nature of Law | Dr. Myles Munroe and Fighting Fear and Winning

You can purchase the complete album via the link below. Available in CD, DVD, MP3 and MP4 http://bit.ly/KingdomLawsForKingdomLi... 

Kingdom Laws For Kingdom Living Volume 2 Titles: 
Disc 1 – Rediscovering The Priority of Law For Kingdom Living Part 5 
Disc 2 – The Value of Law For Kingdom Living Part 1 
Disc 3 – The Value of Law For Kingdom Living Part 2 
Disc 4 – Understanding The Nature of Law

In this series, Dr. Munroe details the words of God, or how he explains it, the laws of God. The Kingdom of God allows it’s citizens to be in the world but not of the world because of the laws of God. Dr. Munroe fully explains how obeying God’s laws allows you to experience the world differently from how others do simply because of obedience to law.

We’re all familiar with fear in some form. At some point, we’ve all felt afraid in a situation in which we found ourselves. It has the capacity to shut us down and paralyze us from moving forward in our Christian walk. Thankfully, God’s Word equips us to fight fear and win.
Even just the thought of fighting against something all by ourselves can scare us. However, we’re never alone when we ask God to walk with us in scary situations. He’s more than willing to do so. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee” (Deuteronomy 31:6). Nothing, no matter how big or frightening it seems to us, is bigger than God.
The world doesn’t understand fear. Caution helps us avoid dangerous situations, like a car speeding toward us or an out-of-control fire; however, fear can turn on us. Fear stops us from fulfilling our mission in life; it isn’t from God, but from our enemy. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
As Christians, we don’t have to tolerate it. Believing the love God has for us gives us the strength to conquer our worst fears. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment…” (1 John 4:18). This isn’t to say we’ll never feel afraid—that’s part of being human. However, standing on God’s Word when fear threatens us gives us authority over it.
Jesus is well aware of this emotion. At the end of His earthly ministry, the thought of His impending crucifixion brought on great distress. “He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, ‘I feel bad enough right now to die…’” (Mark 14:33, MSG). He handled it by praying and continuing to move forward. Likewise, staying connected to God through prayer, and leaning on Him to help us continue moving forward, lets Him move us out of the situation.
Fear is rooted in disbelief. God wants the best for us, but when trouble strikes, the opportunity to doubt what He says surfaces. When the ruler of the synagogue asked Jesus to heal his ill daughter but she died before His arrival, Jesus had to reassure the man. “While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:35, 36). Our faith in what God wants for us pushes out all fear.
Some people are so fearful, they feel trapped in their negative emotions and don’t know which way to go. When we’re in too deep and can’t get out, God meets us where we are and rescues us. All we need to do is call to Him for help. “I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).
God cares deeply about us and every little detail of our lives. He’s already beaten fear. Trusting Him allows us to share in that same victory. For more on conquering fear, click on the link below for the CD series, How to Never Be Afraid Again.
