It’s Advent, and I’ve been really trying to slow down lately and listen to the Lord more intentionally this season. It’s a bit different than being in church, reading the Bible, or even praying the rosary.

Still, I’ve noticed that when that stillness finally comes, fear, worry, and anxiety all seem to rise to the surface, and the mind becomes a mountain.

I’ve always been good about talking to God but this article really helped me see how Jesus meets us there on the mountain and uses our anxiety to reveal what we value and where our trust really is.

Sharing in case it helps someone else too.
