Alexa PenaVega just shared some phrases that can help you get your day started on the right foot.
“I want to give you [some affirmation] using scripture,” she said in an Instagram video. “You should be speaking scripture over your life every single day.”
PenaVega said, “So, the first one is: ‘I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart. In all my ways, I acknowledge Him and He makes my path straight. For sickness, He gives me health, for poverty, He gives me wealth, and for death, He gives me eternal life.’”
“Say those again and again, all throughout the day,” she encouraged her followers. “It just transforms everything.”

The SPY KIDS actress often talks about her faith, whether it’s on social media or in interviews, and credits it for helping her reevaluate her priorities — specifically, when it came time for her family to leave Hollywood.
“I needed a heart reset,” she told Fox News. “I was the one trapped in the entertainment world and needed to take a step back. My job became my identity. God pulled me out of that so I could learn how to be an awesome mom and an awesome wife. God helped us build that foundation in our family. And once I had that revelation, I felt at peace.”
PenaVega’s faith also helped her overcome an eating disorder, sharing on the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast that she “was living with this secret that I was really ashamed of.”
“I was praised whenever I looked skinnier, and if I didn’t look as skinny one day, nobody would compliment me,” she revealed. “I started thriving on what other people thought of me instead of focusing in on God.”
The actress continued, “It became this thing that no longer consumed me. Obviously, God did a whole number in my life to get me through the eating disorder.”
PenaVega said that during that time in her life, she really had “to lean on God’s word.”
“Honestly, that’s what got me through my eating disorder,” she continued. “I had this faith my whole entire life. I craved a relationship with God and I knew it was deeper than what I had and I wanted to know more.”
PenaVega’s recent video is a quick and easy way you can implement scripture into your daily routine.
