Tasha was late for work and frantically searching for her house keys. She retraced her steps again and again, feeling her frustration mounting. Panic rose as the minutes ticked by—she feared she’d never make her morning meeting. In a moment of desperation, she stopped, closed her eyes, and whispered a short prayer: “God, help me find peace.”
Instead of searching harder, she sat quietly and breathed. After a minute, she felt calm and walked to the kitchen, where her keys lay beside the coffee maker. Relief and gratitude mingled in her chest. Tasha understood then that “just doing life with God” wasn’t about getting everything right; it meant trusting, even in chaos, that peace and guidance were available.
She made it to work on time, carrying that sense of peace with her all day. The lesson stuck: when she allowed faith to intervene in stressful moments, she was less likely to lose herself to panic. Her keys became a symbol—a small reminder that God meets us exactly where we are, helping us find what we truly need.
