 Podcast Description:
Have you ever faced a moment so overwhelming that fear clouded every thought — and you didn’t know what to do?
In today’s powerful episode, Bonnie shares a deeply personal story of the morning she woke up completely blind while traveling — and how praying the Psalms carried her through fear, uncertainty, and darkness.

You'll hear how God's Word became her lifeline, why breath prayer can calm both your mind and body, and how you can experience God’s peace through the storms in your own life.

If you’re feeling anxious, weary, or overwhelmed by uncertainty, this episode will bring you hope — and invite you to rest in God's faithful presence.

 In today’s episode, Bonnie will help you:

Understand how fear affects the brain — and how God's Word rewires peace

Learn a soulful rhythm of breath prayer grounded in the Psalms

Discover the difference between facing fear alone — and walking through it with God’s presence

Be encouraged that you don’t have to carry your worries alone

 Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:
Why fear often causes us to freeze — and how God gently invites us to move forward with Him

How praying the Psalms aloud can calm your body's stress response (and the science behind it)

The difference between trying to handle fear alone — and experiencing God's comfort through prayer

How to use breath prayers when fear feels overwhelming

Why God's goodness still follows us — even when outcomes are uncertain

 Breath Prayer:
Inhale: Jesus, You are with me…
Exhale: I will not be afraid.

Psalm 116:7
"Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."
