Is Worry The Thief of Your Peace? w/J. Rosemarie Francis

How does worry become the thief of the solo mom's peace?I remember many nights I lie awake “borrowing trouble,” replaying worries about my job, finances, and my children’s safety. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how chronic worry steals our peace. I also discuss the biblical truths and practical supports that helped me exchange sleepless nights for real rest, peace, and renewed courage.Finally, connection beats isolation. Therapy, church community, and Solo Moms Connect all provide safe spaces to process emotions and find support.       Key Takeaways:02:30 Worry is “borrowing trouble.” It drains energy, keeps you awake at night, and never solves anything.                                                04:10 Worry and fear are tangled but distinct. Naming “worry” separately helps you address it head-on instead of letting it hide behind generic “stress.”10:15 You can’t solve anything by worrying, but you can by praying and planning. Scripture invites us to bring our needs to God so we can take action with clarity.12:00 Rest comes from God’s promises. Verses in Matthew 6, Philippians 4, Psalm 55, and Isaiah 41 anchor anxious hearts and restore sleep.Craving emotional support?
