You were never designed to carry the weight of the world. And the good news is that you don't have to.

Social media and the progress of technology has allowed us to experience extremely traumatic events daily that our brains were never designed to experience consistently at that level. Many war-torn military personnel have experienced trauma at a consistent level for a brief time and suffer from PTSD for a lifetime from that exposure. We subject ourselves to the same traumas daily and expect to walk away unscathed.

Then we wonder why we're always stressed, unhealthy, self-medicating, and angry at everyone and everything that disagrees with our perspective.

It's time for a shift, and we can follow the pattern of Jesus to keep us safe, stable, and focused on making a difference in this world while enjoying the full and beautiful life He came to give us.
