From the Navigators: We must pause in our reading to dig into the Bible. Below are 5 different ways to dig deeper. These exercises encourage meditation.
Nancy Levin works in the area of setting and enforcing personal boundaries. She is an author and personal development coach. Her approach is pithy and practical. "Remember, at the essence, our boundaries are what’s ok and not ok with us, and what we do to take care of ourselves, our non-negotiables."
Here are some of her tips (paraphrased): An outstanding piece from the CS Lewis Institute. Excerpt: We can live much of our lives emotionally in the past (guilt or anger) or in the future (fear, anxiety, and worry) rather than in the present. We can at times be more absent than present. When we are emotionally absent, we are unable to love. To love requires that we be fully present for the one we love. The more we deal with past and future-oriented emotions by daily putting on faith and hope, the more present we can be and thus the more we can love. Again, only by faith and hope can we fully love. -- Art Lindsley 
And from Frontlines: "... when you feel anxious begin to pray. List five things you are thankful for, right now, then tell God what is making you afraid and what you need... God's peace will transform your heart and mind."
The kingdom of satan wants to slime you with grief, fear, sadness, and anxiety, the opposites of joy and peace. Therefore, for us as believers it is not business as usual. We are in a war to steward joy and peace and to stamp out our grief and fear. -- Emma Stark
