Main idea
In a world that celebrates busyness, how do you slow down when your mind won’t stop racing? Drawing from Jesus’ example in Mark 1:35 and Psalm 46:10, this message unpacks the power of intentional solitude with God. You’ll learn why you can’t pour out to others if you don’t fill up first and discover practical steps to quiet the chaos and find peace in God’s presence. Whether you’re overwhelmed, distracted, or just worn out, this talk will encourage you to pause, be still, and remember who you truly are—God’s beloved child.
