Most of our "crisis" isn't what's happening to us—it's the story we're telling ourselves about what's happening. When dreams shatter and life falls apart, we become trapped in toxic narratives: "Everything is ruined." "God has abandoned me." "It's never going to work out."

But God calls us to a different posture. We must hang on to Jesus as our anchor while letting go of how we think the story should end. Stop staring at the wall you're afraid of hitting. Take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fix your eyes on Jesus, not the obstacle (Hebrews 12:2).

The most spiritual thing you can do in a crisis? Breathe. Exhale your panic. Inhale His peace. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). You can't control the crisis, but through Christ, you can control the narrative. God is the author, and He hasn't finished the book yet.
