As part of BYU Education Week, Elder Patrick Kearon, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, addressed the campus community with a message centered on the importance of slowing down and finding peace in Jesus Christ.
His message was split into three parts: the danger of always being in a hurry, the Savior’s example of rest and receiving Christ’s peace, even now.
“If I have a wish for you, it is that you find peace in your actual life — not the life you think you would have if you were able to finish your to-do list, have three extra hours in a day, and finally achieve your goals. My wish is that you and I might slow down and turn more easily and comfortingly to Christ, and bask in His promised peace."
