In this empowering episode, teens learn how to accept how they look. Understanding how people "prostitute" themselves to make money promoting a one-dimensional and limited view of beauty, helps teens avoid certain mental traps.

Having self-love and resisting following dangerous trends is the key to being happy, no matter what other people think and say. Most importantly, being spiritually-minded and shifting one's focus to the right people is the essential for accepting how you look and having a strong sense of self-worth.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cherie-hardy/support

Life can be so overwhelming sometimes that we feel weak and stagnant. However, prayer, communication with God, can strengthen us and help us see and feel The Almighty's presence. The problems that we face are not created by God, but by people who have chosen to live according to their flesh instead of the holy spirit. And because God is the ultimate Gentlemen and does not force us to do what is right, we suffer. At the same time, His unfailing love can transform us and renew our hearts and mind. God will restore us and heal our minds when we ask Him to. The first step to peace is going to God with a sincere and humble heart even when you've made mistakes and committed wrongdoing. In fact, that is the time that you need to go to God the most. He has been waiting on you to cast your cares upon Him. Moreover, you will never have to worry about being judged, ridiculed, criticized, shamed, or talked about. Because He loves you, your secrets are safe with the Almighty. Come to Him with your burdens and He will give you rest. And, discover a preternatural, indescribable peace no matter what you face. Remember, God doesn't change life, He changes us. A relationship with Him does not exempt us from difficult circumstances. However, a personal connection  with Him allows us to see the treasures in our trouble, the messages in our messes, and opportunities in our obstacles. Lastly, remember to make prayer a daily practice. Pray without ceasing and taste and see that the LORD is good. Every time you pray, your relationship with Him becomes stronger. This is what allows you to trust Him and know that God is faithful to hear our cries and guide us to the solutions to our problems. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cherie-hardy/support
