"“Many of us live with a low-grade fatigue and chronic anxiety that rarely, if ever, goes away...The reality is, most of us are just too busy to live an emotionally healthy and spiritually vibrant life. The love, joy, and peace that form the nucleus of Jesus’ kingdom are all impossible in a life of speed. We must, as [Dallas] Willard said, ‘Ruthlessly eliminate hurry.’"
