Stop Trying to Stop Worrying

It's 2 a.m. and your mind won't stop running. 

The emails. The test results. The kid who won't talk to you. Any one of them you could handle, but all of them at once is something else.

"Just stop worrying" has never worked for anyone. In this week's episode we go to Psalm 46 and Philippians 4, written by a temple songwriter and a man in chains. Neither one pretends everything is fine. Both offer something better: you don't have to carry all of it.

God is the river under the city, a hidden current that holds you up when everything else shakes.

God's peace keeps watch at the door of your heart, so you don't have to stay up guarding it.

"Be still" really means let go. Open your hands.
