May nothing wind you up, nothing affright you; everything comes and goes. God, still, is just there; through patience all will be achieved. If you have God, you lack nothing. God alone will do.
– A Prayer by Teresa of Avil (trans. by James Alison)
There is nothing that gets me off track more tham being “wound up” in a way that seems beyond my control. This happens most often when I am feeling insignificant. If I remember this in time, it reminds me to just breathe in God’s presence. If I don’t remember, God has blessed me with an understanding and ever calm husband. He too is God’s presence.
