Surviving the Swirl

Sometimes I find that my mind is racing about everything I think needs to get done, and then all the things that I haven't done, and things I should do, and, and, and...get the picture? 

When my mind and body get into that anxious swirl, and I can't focus on just getting one thing done, I realize that it's time to just sit, be still, and pray.  In these times I close my eyes, focus on God, listen to Christian music and I am instantly covered with the grace and love of Jesus.

There are those that get caught up in the whirlwind of life and can't seem to get out of it and I wish I could give them some of the peace that I experience.  I want to teach them how easy it is to be at peace while the swirl of the world rages around them.

"Peace.  It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.  It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." ~ unknown.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

What am I doing wrong?

 This question was posed on a recent video I watched and it has me pondering what am I doing wrong?  I'm still delving into it and will ...
