One of the greatest antidotes to depression, fear, or anxiety is service to others.

 

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

 

If you are struggling today, I encourage you to take your eyes off yourself, the circumstances around us, and instead look for ways you can be the hands and feet of Jesus.

 

Any amount of serving others will do wonders for your soul. 

 

There are so many families who could use your prayers. Stop this morning and pray for your friend, neighbor, co-worker, bank teller, grocery cashier.

 

We can serve others through simple encouraging words.

 

“One of the greatest ironies of life is this:  He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.”

 

And, you can start serving right at home.

 

Look for ways to put others’ needs before your own and be assured of a miracle in your own life!

 

Lift others up who may need an encouraging word!  Pray for all those around us and trust our God is sovereign and still in control! Amen.

 

This devotion blessed me. Right now, some of us are confined to being at home and we could easily think our power to serve is limited but prayer changes things. If you are breathing you can pray. Start serving right where you are. The most powerful weapon against trials, the most effective medicine against sickness and the most valuable gift to others is PRAYER.

 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
