Feeling worried and anxious? Maybe you don't feel it as fear, but the fear all around you is still bringing you down. I have two suggestions! First, coloring is often found to help calm anxieties, so I have a free PDF coloring picture for you! But there's more, and it's right there on the coloring page.
Actually, this isn't my suggestion. This comes from the Bible, so personally, I believe it's even better than coloring. A lot better.
"Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."
Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)
The coloring picture is a shortened version of the verse, and I included the parts that especially spoke to my heart.
And here's the good news! You can color AND pray at the same time! So as you calm your worries with art you can also invite Jesus to carry your anxieties because he cares for you.
May the peace of Christ be with you, my friends!
Such a wonderful message you shared from scripture; it is calming even if you only read it, so thank you so much. Our world is in need of a great amount of prayer. Blessings to you..........
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this--and all your other cuteness!!! Today, as I am away and helping my father, my young daughter will be coloring a couple copies of this to send out...the coloring will be a calming activity for her and she loves scriptures. Plus, she will send off a couple of the completed ones to loved ones we cannot visit at this time. So many blessings! Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to print this, but the link will not open for me
ReplyDeleteHmm, it’s opening for me. Maybe try again. Or you can email me (check the contact page) and I’ll email the file to you.
