Summary
Isaiah 26:3 (MSG) says, “People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, Steady on their feet because they keep at it and don't quit.” We can trust God; He is a sure thing. When we take what we’re feeling to Him, He is faithful to make us whole.
When allow ourselves to experience negative emotions without numbing them, we won’t get stuck in them. Over time, feeling becomes easier and we can become fully ourselves allowing us to be present with the people around us.

| 0:00.0 | Bum, bum, bun. Welcome to the Struggle Well School Podcast. I'm Emily Thomas and each week I bring |
| 0:20.0 | you some thoughts on well our thoughts. Our thoughts can lead to dark places or lovely |
| 0:25.0 | ones but I've learned that struggling well is an inside job you have the power to |
| 0:29.5 | take those squirilly thoughts captive and replace them with truth, but with about 70,000 thoughts a day, |
| 0:36.0 | we have our work cut out for us. |
| 0:37.8 | The good thing is, we know that perfection is nonsense and peace is a perspective shift away. |
| 0:43.0 | School is in session. |
| 0:44.4 | Let's get to shifting. |
| 0:46.7 | Hey ladies, welcome back. |
| 0:48.2 | I want to talk about a feeling or feelings today. |
| 0:51.8 | I want to go over this first that I love it's Isaiah 26. |
| 0:55.0 | You keep him in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on you because he trusts in |

| 1:20.9 | honestly most things don't stick in my brain As you'll see in the story I'm about to tell you, |
| 1:25.5 | retention of information is not my strong suit. Anyway, the title of the sermon was, |
| 1:30.0 | are you humble enough to be carefree? Are you humble enough to be carefree? Are you humble enough to be carefree? |
| 1:35.3 | No, no I'm not, thank you very much. I am careful because I am pride full and I think I know better than |
| 1:42.1 | God. I am not in a carefree place a lot of the time. |
| 1:45.1 | And the Bible has something to say about that though. Again, Isaiah 26, the Prophet |
