In today’s society, there are so many things that can stress us out and keep us wound up like a ball of yarn. However, remember God did not create us to be this way. Remember God said. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2. When we are prospering, we are happy, joyful, elated, ecstatic, relaxed, and thriving. If God wants these things for us, we should want them for ourselves and aspire to reach these heights.
