Sometimes life doesn’t slow down — it speeds up.
Responsibilities pile up. Pressure grows. And your mind begins to race faster than your heart can handle.

When that happens, don’t rush harder. Slow down. Breathe.

When life becomes stressful, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. But remember this truth:
You were not created to live in constant anxiety. You were created to live in God’s presence.

Pause long enough to pray — not just once, but often. Prayer doesn’t remove every problem, but it restores your perspective. It reminds you that you are not carrying life alone.

Learning to guard your joy is essential during stressful seasons. Not by denying reality, but by choosing faith over fear, trust over tension, and peace over pressure.

You may not control everything happening around you, but with God, you can learn to control what happens within you.

So slow down.
Breathe deeply.
Pray often.

And let God steady your soul.
