Get Out of My MindSample

Have you ever seen a tightrope walker attempting a crazy feat of crossing a deadly cliff? Their focus isn’t on the cameras watching, the distance below, the audience, or even their surroundings. Their focus is fixed on the end goal. The many distractions, stressors, temptations, and demands on our schedules can overwhelm us, clamoring for our attention. God knew this and provided a better option. God promises perfect peace when we really stop to focus on him. Perfect peace doesn’t always look like every problem being instantly solved. Perfect peace looks like having someone to put our trust in instead of trying to take on too much at once. Perfect peace looks like taking a rest from the striving and questioning and worrying as we place our trust in God, taking our worries to the one bigger and wiser than us—the one who has greater perspective over all that is happening in our worlds.
