Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

Whenever I get anxious about something, I repeat the doxology "Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below. Praise him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.” I think it is calming because it immediately takes the focus from self to a place of praise and gratitude; it is a reminder that we don't stand alone.

Do you have a song, a prayer, a word or affirmation that centers you? If so keep it close to your heart. Make it the screen saver on your phone, a post-it note on your refrigerator or in a frame on your wall. Life happens and it helps to be prepared. #calm #itshandled
