Turn down the volume on all your useless anxieties.
If we could take a peek into your mind, what would we find? Would it be a treasure box of joyful moments? A steady stream of smart solutions? A relaxed take on the world? Or an ongoing, fret-filled drama?
Unfortunately, many of us live in a constant state of worry, where all the things that might go wrong litter our headspace. Some of us are so used to worrying that we don’t even realize when we’re doing it! As such, we feel it’s high time for a gentle reminder from Pope Francis, who once spoke about listening, discerning, and living our life’s calling by saying,“ God comes silently and discreetly, without imposing on our freedom. Thus it can happen that His voice is drowned out by the many worries and concerns that fill our minds and hearts.”
We don’t doubt that you often reach out to the Lord. But could you also be crowding out all the answered prayers that are delivered right to your doorstep because of your constant agonizing? Here are six ways to shush that pesky, worry-prone voice in your head—and make room for one that’s filled with guidance from above.
