You checked the news this morning before you'd even had a coffee - and now you can't look away, even though it's exhausting you. This 5-minute devotional is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the noise of the world right now.
In today's video, Rob Westwood-Payne opens Proverbs 3:5-6 and Habakkuk 3:17-18 to find one small word that quietly reframes everything - and a single daily practice that helps you find solid ground again.
What you'll take away:
- What the Hebrew word for "trust" actually means (it's not what you'd expect)
- Why the word "yet" is the grammar of faith
- What Julian of Norwich knew during the Black Death that still speaks today
- One 10-second practice to try before you next check the news
This is Day 5 of the series "Wisdom for Real Life" - exploring Proverbs 3.
