As we meditate on Christ's life, we find strength for our own.
Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't heaven, so don't expect it to be.
Your serenity matters to heaven. God's presence encapsulates your life.
You change your life by changing your heart.
We've been taught that the Christian life is a life of peace, and when we don't have peace, we assume the problem lies within us. Not only do we feel anxious, but we also feel guilty about our anxiety! The result is a downward spiral of worry, guilt, worry, guilt.
Thats usually what I gravitate to, I read The Perfect Storm, then I read Into Thin Air .
