I don’t know about you but I have been told I have a “bad picker”.  My choices in romantic relationships and friends have been questionable at times. I realized I didn’t have the skills I needed to protect myself from allowing people to harm me.   In Mental Health Recovery I learned how to create relationships that protect peace and stability.  

In a world shaped by constant noise and vigilance, rest is often misunderstood as withdrawal or weakness. Scripture tells a different story. Rhythm and rest are not reactions to exhaustion, but part of God’s original design - an invitation to remain, to trust, and to release what was never meant to be carried alone.

Anxiety often resists resolution, but it can be met with acceptance rather than fear. This reflection explores how learning to rest - not in certainty, but in a God who is greater than our fear - gently reorients the anxious heart.
