How Do I “Look to Jesus”? “But for all the inspiration we find in the phrase ‘looking to Jesus,’ we may struggle to know exactly what it means. Look to Jesus, yes — but how?

How does ‘looking to Jesus’ turn from a beautiful but vague idea to an ‘unspeakably happy’ practice?”
Here’s a look at a new movie release: ‘Hoppers’ and the World We’ve Stopped Seeing. “Chronic unhappiness drives us toward whatever removes us from the present, and entire industries now exist not only to satisfy that itch but to inflame it. The peril of endless diversion is that we begin to feel we’re missing out if we’re not fully up to speed on everything happening.”
