Stay focused upon the Lord and look to him for strength and direction. — 1 Chronicles 16:11 The Discussion Bible

When life starts to wobble and spins you around,
When nothing feels steady, not even the ground,
When thoughts swirl like thunder and won’t let you sleep,
And the highs you once had feel a little too cheap—

Then pause for a moment, just breathe in the air,
Don’t dash into chaos or drown in despair.
Lift your eyes upward, don’t wallow within—
For that’s where your focus and strength can begin.

For he knows the way through the dark and the mess.
He gives mighty power when you’re stuck in distress.
He’ll guide you through forests, through valleys and sand,
With strength in his Spirit and peace in his hand.

So don’t get distracted or chase every sound.
Don’t follow your fears or the noise all around.
Stay focused. Be bold. Let your heart pay attention.
God gives you his strength and his perfect direction.
