How easy it is to wish another evil
Seek good and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Amos 5 verse 14
How easy it is to wish another evil especially when we are hurt. How about that promotion that should have been yours? How about the paper that you know was worth an “A” but you got a “B”? Did you receive that than you for a work will done? Did not our Lord receive evil for good? Did He not say forgive them? When are we going to stop saying it is hard, when we know that He is there to help?

slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety
Can breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs against Covid- 19?
As per an article from aarp.org, strengthening the lungs with deep breathing is good for pulmonary health by clearing out the lungs to help reduce the risk of infection and pneumonia. Exercise does the same thing. Aerobic exercise helps to keep your heart, lungs and circulatory system healthy. Aerobic exercise means with oxygen which includes brisk walking, swimming, running, cycling, dancing any form of exercise that elevates the heart and forces oxygen into the lungs.
So does exercise and deep breathing protect you against Covid 19? Experts cannot totally agree, but according to research Covid 19 attacks the lungs and if deep breathing and exercises are beneficial to increase lung health, why not do them?
Slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety.
So, take another breath and relax or go for a walk.

As for God, His way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. Psalm 18 verse 30
We always doubt God and think that he does not answer fast enough. We want to tell Him what to do. We become so impatient. We forget that He is in control. How simple it would be to just hand over the reins to Him and enjoy the ride. (Vicissitudes of Life, 2007)

The Bible says, casting all your cares upon him (the Lord) for he (the Lord) cares for you”. 1 Peter 5 verse 7
encouraging words makes him feel good.
Life is a road. Sometimes the road is rough and as we travel on it, we can get anxious or weighed down by the many bumps and curves.
Anxiety is a natural response to stress which at times can lead to fear and apprehension having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom.
The Bible says, “heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad”. Proverbs 12 verse 25
Plainly spoken, “anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but encouraging words makes him feel good”.
Sometimes talking to someone or even saying kind words to others helps to lift the spirit.
We all need to feel good and encouraged as we walk the path of life.
Destressing life = use encouraging words
