Do not search for security in the  world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do  in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off  your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish  that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more  frustrated you become.

There is a better way to find  security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your  attention on My Presence with you. This continual contact with Me will keep you  in My Peace. Moreover, I will help you sort out what is important and what is  not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on  what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (My  Presence).

You will keep him in perfect  peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. —Isaiah 26:3 nkjv

So we fix our eyes not on what  is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is  temporary
