Hey everyone, Kelly Givens here. I want you to think about a little word with some big

implications. Stress. I don't have to say much more for you to start thinking about all the ways your life feels stressful and overwhelming.

In fact, I bet one of the reasons you listen to your daily prayer is because it's a calming way to connect with God amidst the stress of life.

If that's true, then I want to recommend our latest podcast to you.

Breathe, the Stress Less podcast.

Our host Bonnie Gray guides us through the effects of stress and gives us scripture-backed methods

of restoring calm, reducing overwhelm, and deepening our intimacy with God.

You can find Breathe a stress-less podcast on Life Audio.com

or by searching your favorite podcast app.

We'll also have a link in the show notes. Check it out and

let us know what you think. A prayer to find faith in the chaos by Kelly O'Dell Stanley. Be still and know that I am God.

Psalm 4610.

My computer monitor is lined with to run this week and appointments to schedule and random to do's that I move from one list

to another and never managed to complete.

There are reminders of birthday gifts to buy, printer toner to order, moving dates for my college-age daughter, tuition bills

do, calls to make, checks to deposit, cards to send, messages to write. I want faith to be an important part of my life, but some days

there seems to be no room for it because everything else is pushing it out of the

way. It may seem impossible to spend time finding faith amidst the chaos, and I agree it's not always easy.

But I encourage you to still moments wherever you can find them to reconnect with God in the jumble of your life.

Be still. That's all it takes. A moment in which to remember.

Stop.

Breathe deeply. And let yourself be aware that he is right there with you.
