Panic usually arrives uninvited, and once it grabs hold, it feels impossible to stop. But here’s the truth: even in the middle of chaos, you can create a pause. You don’t need to solve the whole problem in that moment — you only need to give yourself space to breathe.

The pause doesn’t erase the problem, but it softens the way your body and mind react to it. A simple pause is the first step toward clarity.God already knew we would face moments like this. He reminds us:

“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

That doesn’t mean we have to be perfectly calm all the time. It means even in panic, we can take one still moment to remind ourselves: God is bigger than this.
