Isaiah 26

For many years I would produce and direct a local church music production at Christmas and Easter. With the myriad of details necessary, I would begin “losing my mind.” (My wife handles the details much better than I … but she can’t direct a choir)

Anyway, my solution for the stress became Is. 26:3.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

As I focused on the Lord’s capability, my in-capabilities diminished and I was able to function. This and other key verses have been my survival lifelines. I’m now retired and the peace is more abundant. I really miss the joys of those times, though.
