We all need moments throughout our day where we pause and breathe, turning our eyes to Christ and off the craziness around us. Here's a new way I've been reminding myself to take those moments. What helps you?

Verses referenced:

Pause and seek strength--

Pause and give your burdens to Christ--

Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you, he will never permit the righteous to be moved."

1 Peter 5:7 "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Pause and give thanks--

Pause and rest--

Matthew 11:28-30 "'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'"
