When everything and everyone around us seems frantic, real self control is the ability to remain at peace.
Even in the face of danger or tragedy, panic and anxiety will only worsen any situation.
The entire world on all fronts, from varying perspectives is in a state of upheaval. Most of it is due to the contagious nature of frantic energy and not due to direct threat at all.
There is very seldom times that our world is calm, but a peaceful mind focused on love and service, aware of the truth of being will enjoy tranquility amid the frenzy.
Psalm 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
