Sounds like something you could use? What if God never meant for you to live life at such a hectic pace? So why do I do it? Maybe it has something to do with the answers to these questions:

• Is it possible that I have been using God to run from God?
• Why do I try to ignore the emotions of anger, sadness and fear?
• Why does culture have such a powerful influence on me?
• How does my past influence my present?
• Have I been dividing life into ‘secular’ and ‘sacred’ compartments?
• Why do I try to cover over brokenness, weakness and failure – practicing image control?
• Why do I live life without limits – trying to do it all?
• Can I really live a more focused and peaceful life and still be productive?
• Where is the balance? How can I change?

The answer to this and many other questions are found in understanding and applying God’s principles of emotional health to our life. The fact is, you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. God wants to awaken us to a biblical integration of emotional health, our relationship with Jesus and the classic practices of slowing down to be with God. It will create nothing short of a spiritual revolution in your life. A revolution that will reach so far beneath the surface that you will be utterly transformed.
