When you feel overcome by stress, repeat this verse. Believe there is a constant supply of grace flowing towards you, like a divine ocean of waves rolling over you, cleansing and invigorating you. It is always there. All you need to do is recognize it flowing toward you.

Jesus encourages you to do the right thing when you’ve misunderstood someone or have been offended. He asks you respond without reacting or judging and make a friend rather than an enemy.

Some days are packed with little problems: annoyances like traffic jams, missed appointments and petty misunderstandings. When frustrations draw your attention, look to Jesus’ blessings. His grace is constant and the beauty of the life He gives us is filled with peace.
