@Musicman Yes, indeed! That's the spirit! The Lord always encourages us. He's our best friend in the whole universe, and I'm so grateful and thankful for Him in my life, as I know you are, as well.

@Musicman I think the main thing is to remember to keep active and not idle. It's then that we think too much or overthink things which can stress us out and even bring depression. We're meant to be active and productive. And if we are sitting in our chairs or whatever we can always read our Bible and grow spiritually. That's the great thing. I try to always stay active. That way, you don't have time for anxiety or anything else, but you can grow your faith and become stronger in the Lord and that's a wonderful thing.

That devil always loves our idle time, so he can put negative thoughts in our minds. I have found a way to stay active all day long and evening, and the peace is just so wonderful. I don't think people realize how many different ways that devil can use our idleness for no good, and even what we watch on TV.

@LadyGrace Oh yes! TV and music too. We have to be very careful on what we let into our minds.
