Gravity: The Peace That Guards Your Heart (Philippians 4:6-7)

99 words

In Gravity, Dr. Ryan Stone tumbles through space after debris destroys her shuttle. She's alone, oxygen running out, spinning toward certain death. In her lowest moment, she hallucinates her dead colleague who reminds her: You have to let go of the fear. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Ryan stops spiraling—mentally before physically. She prays, in her way. The anxiety doesn't disappear, but a peace beyond understanding takes hold. She chooses to try. In the void of space, she finds solid ground.
