“Peace for the Restless Mind”

One of the quiet battles many people fight is the battle of the mind. The body may be still, but thoughts race. Worries stack up. Questions multiply. Sleep becomes shallow because the future feels loud.

We try to think our way into peace.
We try to plan our way into certainty.
But peace does not come from control — it comes from surrender.

God does not command us to pretend we are not anxious. He invites us to bring anxiety to Him.

Philippians 4:6–7 teaches that instead of carrying anxiety alone, we are to bring everything to God in prayer — honestly, specifically, and with gratitude. And then comes the promise: God’s peace, a peace beyond human logic, stands guard over both heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Notice what that means.

Peace is not the absence of problems.
Peace is the presence of God guarding you while the problems still exist.

The word “guard” is a military term. It paints the picture of a soldier standing watch. When you pray, God’s peace stands watch over your thoughts. It protects your heart from spiraling fear. It stabilizes your mind when it wants to run ahead of grace.

You may not control tomorrow.
But you can surrender today.
And in surrender, peace begins to settle.

You are not failing because you feel anxious.
You are invited to exchange anxiety for prayer.

Bring it to Him. Every worry. Every unknown. Every restless thought.

And let His peace do what your planning never could.

You are guarded.
You are covered.
You are not alone.

🙏 Morning Prayer

Father, You see the thoughts I cannot quiet on my own. I bring You every worry, every fear about the future, and every restless concern. Guard my heart. Steady my mind. Replace anxiety with Your peace. Teach me to surrender what I cannot control and trust You one day at a time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
