Elevate: A Conversation on AnxietySample

High school is full of overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overstressed people. If you’re tired from the hectic pace of life, burdened by fear, overwhelmed by the pressure to measure up, or struggling with insecurity that says you never will—Jesus says, “Come to me to find rest.” Jesus wants to restore the parts of your mind, heart, and soul that are tired and worn out. The truth is, your soul is at its best when you come to Jesus for rest.

So, this week, make it a point to spend a few minutes with God on a daily basis—not to add another thing to your already-filled day but to find some rest. Tell God what’s on your mind, in what areas you’re struggling, and where you need some help. And then just chill for a few minutes, knowing God is with you, loves you, and cares about everything going on in your life.
