Anxiety & Peace

What to do with a racing mind

Coming to the App StoreAll Paths

Anxiety is not a failure of faith; it is what a mind does when it carries what it was not built to carry. These Words do not scold. They show what to do with the weight, and describe a peace that does not depend on the outcome.

This Path is part of the house. One year opens it, with every other Path.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
