The fruits of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship? A calmed & quieted soul. Psalm 131 claims that this is attainable. Does this describe me? What leads us to a noisy & restless soul, and how can we aim in the direction of a calmed & quieted soul?

New International Version
Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord
both now and forevermore.

1 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;

like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.[a] 3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.
