Looking...


Look up

God will never leave of forsake you.
His word is a light unto your path.


Look out

Confide in a friend
Seek comfort and counsel in local resources.


Look in

Take an inventory of your feelings.
Journal your thoughts, ideas and progress.


Look for truth

Gather information and research your options.
Often natural inclinations are in opposition to God's ways.


Look realistically

Resist the temptation to change others.
Change what you can, accept what you cannot.


Look for balance

Take care of yourself.
Get enough rest, eat healthy,attempt to simplify life.


Look for laughter

A cheerful heart is like good medicine.
Choose joyful music, uplifting books, optimistic friends.


Look for hope

This too shall pass.
Dwell on what is good and worthy of praise.


Look for comfort

Read the Psalms.
Let others encourage you and find ways to encourage others.


Look for God's purpose.

Every experience has spiritual significance.
Press closer to God and allow him to deepen your faith.
