• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Answer early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it's time right now for today's word, finding soul rest.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Psalm sixty two and one says, truly, my soul finds rest,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and God my salvation comes from Him. Well, just like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: keeping our physical bodies healthy requires adequate rest, keeping our
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: souls healthy requires allowing them to rest too. When we
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are at complete rest in our mind, our will, our emotions,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: only then will we be free from the tyranny of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: circumstances and people that upset us. I always tell you
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: those who anger you control you, So stop allowing people.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Stop allowing circumstances to control you. Sometimes we face situations
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that keep our minds and emotions sultans that we can
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: feel the weariness on the inside. Even if we are
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: physically rested, We feel tired and we feel mentally exhausted.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: An easy way to rest the soul is to take
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a deep breath, just get quiet, and focus on something
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: else for a while. For example, you might say, I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: so mad right now about what's going on with my child.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But instead of being upset and anxious right now, I'm
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: gonna focus on the fact that God loves my child.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And God loves me, and God is gonna be bigger
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: than this problem. God said, the seat of the righteous
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: shall be delivered. If you're struggling with strife in your home,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you might choose to get outside and take a walk
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: every day, simply to remove yourself from a stressful atmosphere temporarily.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: While you're walking. Don't let your mind dwell on the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: situation at home. Choose instead to think positive soul, sort
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to pray and thank God that he's working in your
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: family and that he's gonna bring peace as you follow him. Pray,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: lead the blood of Jesus over your home, and then
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you command the peace of God in your home and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: make sure you you are not the cause of the chaos.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I just have to say it. You know, sometimes when
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: your soul is in turmoil, it's a good idea just
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to give it a break and watch a good, clean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: funny movie. After all, I remind y'all all the time,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a Mary Hart does good like a medicine. I encourage
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you today to take some time to think and pray
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: about ways that you can rest and care for your soul.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit will give you ideas and lead you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to things that will be genuinely RESTful. For you remember
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that God will complete the good work that he begins.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And you said, just keep on pressing on, don't give up. Eventually,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: little by little your soul will find its rest. Oh Father, God,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, help us to find proper
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: rest for our souls, even in the chaos of our
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: everyday lives. Give us a peace, God that goes beyond
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: human understanding, the peace that we find you in Jesus' name.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Now that's your word for today. Take it applied to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It is your early body praise party with me, your girls,
• 3:10
