Happy Thursday Everyone!
Hope you all have a great week so far, the weekend is just around the corner. I just read this article and thought it's great to share with you all. This article is very encouraging, uplifting and as a young lady myself, often I find myself struggling with negative thoughts. There are rainy days, negative thoughts come pouring down, but we have the Word of God, and the Word of God keeps us strong and think positive about life and about ourself.

I want you to know this-you are somebody. You are somebody, going somewhere, to be effective for God. You are special. You are valuable. And you are worthy in the sight of God. You are a pearl of great price. You are the apple of His eye. And God has proven it in the Bible over and over again how much He cares for you.
That’s why today, in your world-in your life-you need to remember the Word. Whatever you’re going through, whatever issues you’re dealing with, there is a SOLUTION in God’s Word that you can remind Him of. There’s not any situation you’re in today that is too great for God to get you out of.
You’ve tried it your way. You just need to surrender. Surrender and acknowledge, “I missed it there.” You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.
Everyone is going through something. That’s not the issue. The real issue is, how are you handling it? If you know who you are in Christ, you have a position to stand before God and put Him in remembrance of His Word. That’s what Moses did in Exodus chapter 3. He said, “God, remember Your Word”, and the Israelites were saved from destruction.
Yes, the pressures of life are real. Stress and depression are real. They just don’t belong to us. God never intended for us to operate under stress. That’s why Philippians 4:6 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but with prayer and supplication and thanksgiving, make your request known unto Him.”
Whatever it is that’s got you uptight and worried, you do something about it. Make your request known unto Him. And then, even when the circumstances have not changed verse 7 says that you can have the peace of God. In the midst of the turnmoil, the midnight hour, God is saying, “Have peace.” It will pass all understanding.
Ladies, there is a high price tag on you. You are valuable. The Father has spent a heavy penny on you, and your happiness matters to Him. It matters to Him that you are pleased and satisfied with where you are in life. God knows what is going on in your life. So put on that happy face, but then apply the Word to your life and that smile will stay there. It will be real, because God honors His Word.
