“Every inconvenience, every setback, every trial, every obstacle, was not an occasion for anxiety and stress, but an opportunity to trust God to show up, teach us a lesson, or bring a divine appointment. Since they were always tuning into God’s frequency, they would often be on cue to contribute a harmonic note to the Creator’s beautiful melody. I realized that although my friends were still normal people prone toward impatience, stress, and anger, these healthy rituals of worship kept them from letting those tendencies and temperaments control their lives.”
