I love this. I've been meaning to read "Try Softer". I think that this mentality is especially embedded in us from that South Dakota upbringing. I just heard a quote from Joseph Prince that I liked, "When you do more, you frustrate the grace of God. You have the opposite result. Learn to rest more. It’s not according to nature, it’s according to heaven, it’s according to God. We have to learn God’s ways."
I especially love the breath mantra. It says it all as I try really hard not to heavy sigh though that prayer.
Thank you, Elsa! So glad this resonated for you. I can relate to the heavy sighs….
