"Therfore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!"
2 Nephi 28:24
This is an interesting one. I think usually we work hard so that we can be "at ease." We want that feeling of calm, or at least "not impending doom," and are grateful when our minds spin down a little and we can relax. So, is God saying that we should never relax, or that we should be anxious all the time? I don't think so, but maybe a little on one level... he wants us to be "anxiously engaged" in a good cause. :) He doesn't want us to be depressed or give up, but he doesn't want us to be complacent either, thinking that everything is golden and perfect as is and never doing anything to make things better.
Today, let's take a look at our lives and see where we are managing our anxiety in a good way, but also looking for times when we are maybe wasting time that we could be doing something more productive like, say, reading our scriptures, or talking to God about our lives. There are calm things that we can do that will help us more, and also probably some action items that we could fit in without going into full on stress mode. Let's take some time to talk to God about it, and ask him to help us see and act on opportunities to improve ourselves and the world around us.
