At Issue - Stress

Psalms 46:1–3, 10

Things in life often fall apart all at once. Name your crisis du jour. You have a bitter fight with your husband or boyfriend—and it seems as if a piece of your secure life falls at your feet. Layoffs threaten your job—another chunk drops. Your single mom breaks her hip—yet another piece falls. When life is crashing down around you, do you work even harder to hold it together? Try a different approach: Be still. Find comfort and strength in God, and stop trying so hard to fix everything. No matter how many pieces fall, you will have God’s inner peace.
