A friend of mine has a funny saying. When even the slightest thing goes wrong- a lost email, a stubbed toe, a dropped fork at a restaurant- he will say, “My whole life is crashing down around me!” It’s his funny way of making light of common problems and reminding himself not to “sweat the small stuff.”

But what happens when it really does feel that your life is “crashing down around you?” In my experience, that feeling surfaces not simply when you are presented with bad news – a frightening medical diagnosis; a layoff at work; grievous academic, professional, or financial failure – but especially when those things happen all at once! And to that mix you might add political, economic, and social unrest as well. Taken together, it can feel like things are indeed “crashing down.”

Even in these times of instability, God is with you. Remember that Jesus himself lived in turbulent times. But how can we access the calm that we long for during unstable times? First, by being honest with your feelings and asking God to give you clarity about how to proceed. But occasionally, that can mire us more deeply in the instability, causing us to focus even more on the problems. In those situations, it may be time simply to take a break with God, to rest in God’s presence and let God give you the gift of calm. – James Martin, SJ
