“Should” & “Need”: get rid of those thoughts and words. They will take you into a place of lies from the enemy. Christ is our safe place, our shelter. Lean into Him in times of difficulty.
Also, for those who think they have something to add to the conversation, Peter offers two thoughts:
1. Know your audience. 2. Know your message.

Pursue “healthy” and “happy” will find you! The path to safety will always be found in the person of Christ, so when panic begins to set-in, RUN to Christ.
