Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose

by Rebekah Lyons

Fight death with life.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Would I have had the imagination for such a major shift in my life? Or would I have seen it as something impossible?

Maybe you feel the tug toward something (anything) that feels impossible. Maybe you feel called to something that is beyond your reach because you are so full of anxiety, worry, or panic. Take heart. God gently beckons, never coerces, and offers the grace to fall into rhythms that will fill you with confidence and courage, confirm your calling, and give you strength to carry out his purposes.

It’s the renewing of our minds, then, that brings the transformation of our imaginations, that pulls us from the world’s restless cycle.

When we live into this renewal, we’ll find our stress and anxiety transformed into peace and purpose.
