As a new year begins, this simple prayer speaks volumes: “Lord, silence the what ifs.”

At Genesis Counseling Center, we see how what ifs quietly fuel anxiety—what if I fail, what if I’m alone, what if things don’t change. They pull us out of the present and away from trust. Scripture reminds us that God is already in our tomorrow, steady and faithful, even when the path feels unclear.

This year, may we practice releasing the questions we were never meant to carry and replacing them with surrender. Not certainty in outcomes—but confidence in Who goes before us. When the noise of fear rises, may we return to this prayer and allow God’s peace to speak louder than our worries.

Here’s to a new year marked not by fear of the unknown, but by trust in the One who knows. Need a little help in your journey? GET STARTED TODAY at: https://genesiscounselingcenter.com/forms-virginia-new-clients/🤍

If today feels heavy, we want you to know that it makes sense. Early recovery can be exhausting, emotional, and uncomfortable—and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing something brave.

If you’re struggling today, remember—you don’t have to start over. Just keep going. One more sober day. One choice at a time. Progress is built in the small, consistent steps, not perfection. What feels overwhelming today will not always feel this hard. Your mind, body, and heart are learning a new way to live, and with each sober day, it truly does get lighter.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. Just keep going. Let today be enough. Healing takes time, but it also brings relief, peace, and hope—often sooner than you expect.

During a time of new resolutions, at Genesis Counseling Center, we want to remind you last lasting change is rarely about one big decision—it’s about the small, faithful choices we make every day.

Scripture echoes this wisdom. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much” (Luke 16:10). Our daily routines shape our minds, our emotions, and our spiritual lives. The way we start our mornings, how we speak to ourselves, what we do when stress hits, and where we turn for comfort—all of these repeated patterns quietly form the direction of our lives.

From a mental health perspective, small consistent habits help regulate our nervous system, reduce anxiety, and build resilience. From a faith perspective, daily practices like prayer, Scripture, gratitude, rest, and healthy boundaries create space for God to renew us from the inside out.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, don’t ask, “What huge change do I need to make?”
Instead, ask, “What one small daily habit can I shift—inviting God into it?”

Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but faithful daily steps lead to lasting healing and growth. Need a little helping in starting 2026 on a better path? We can help! GET STARTED TODAY at: https://genesiscounselingcenter.com/forms-virginia-new-clients/

“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:7-8
