“Learn from the past, don’t live in it. You will never be able to reach forward to the abundance of His favor that awaits you if you are constantly looking behind you. Things that have happened to you in the past might be hard to get over but you need to try to deal with them and move forward from here.”

I hope you have an amazing day today my friends! – Elmer Laydon

“Feeling like you’re being overwhelmed? Your ability to weather life’s storms rests on your ability to go through them with God. You may be in rough water but He won’t let you drown.

“Anxiety, worry, and fear can keep us from living a normal life. Many times, when we finally face what we are anxious about, it turns out that the worry was worse than the problem. When you are anxious, know that God will not allow you to be overcome; take deep breath, try to calm yourself, and know that you can only be defeated when you let the worry separate you from Him.” 

I hope you have a fantastic day today my friends! – Elmer Laydon
