Okay, you have your life together and everything is working like it’s supposed to. So tell me—why do you feel so uneasy? Why do you feel like something bad is about to happen? What’s the matter with us that we can’t relax and feel good about life when it is working? Why do we have this nagging fear that everything is going too well and something bad is creeping up on us?

The truth is that we’re an unfinished work. We have been created with a hole inside—a hole that we never can seem to fill with wealth, food, or relationships. Why?

I want you to consider two men who exhibited incredible peace of mind. They seemed very much to have that hole inside of them filled up to the full. And I want you to think about what it was that made the difference. The two men are Paul and Silas.
