God can help you replace fear with power, love and self-control as you turn to Him and trust Him with your life.
Have you ever felt out of control when you're afraid or extremely stressed? There's a physiological reason that happens; when your nervous system senses danger, the emotional brain takes over and literally bypasses the logic brain in order to prepare your body for fight, flight or freeze. Your body reacts automatically, without intentional thought and the result can often leave you feeling like you have no control over reactions or behavior in that moment.
'The limbic system serves your body well when you're facing an actual threat, like banditry for example, but it's not as helpful when the "danger" is merely a stressful situation'. These are the times when breath prayers, especially when practiced regularly, can be helpful. As you slow your breathing, you're telling your nervous system that there is nothing to fear, which allows your emotional brain to chill out a bit and let your logical brain begin to function again.
Declare: I receive the spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind. And to every raging storm: *PEACE BE STILL* in Jesus name. Amen.
Good Morning, happy Sunday and Peaceful week ahead.
