Overthinking. Comparing. Trying to figure everything out… and stay ahead of everything at the same time. And the more you think… the more restless you feel. In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures , we break down Psalm 131… a short but powerful shift from mental noise… to real internal calm. This isn’t about doing less. It’s about letting go of what was never yours to carry in the first place . The psalm describes a different way of living: not driven by pride not consumed by comparison not chasing control Instead… grounded, steady, and at peace. Because here’s the truth… You don’t feel overwhelmed because life is impossible. You feel overwhelmed because you’re trying to manage things that aren’t yours to manage. And the moment you let that go… everything starts to settle. If your mind has been constantly running, comparing, or trying to control outcomes… this episode will help you reset and find a more stable way to think and live.","meta_description":"Your mind doesn’t stop.
