Overcoming Mind Racing Through Faith
It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts. Whether it’s the stress of work, family responsibilities, or the never-ending to-do list, our minds can often feel like a hamster wheel that never stops! i believe it's in times like these where we encounter the most intimate moments with Jesus. Those of you who know me personally know that I'm not a charismatic Christian, I do believe in the power of God, Miracles and wonders, and I believe in peace that is supernatural.. but for the past year, I have been having dreams that I know are from God. They are never outside of scripture. It's almost like he's explaining what scriptures mean to me in my dreams. It's pretty amazing because some of these scriptures I've been studying for 20 years, never understanding and now in my dreams, they are just unfolding.. He even reminds me, get up write it down lol because you know you're gonna forget it so I do and not a single one of them has ceased to amaze me. That's how the Holy Spirit works. He's so amazing. It's never going to get old! I believe that the Lord meets me in my sleep because it's my quiet time. I love it and it's so special!
Faith is essentially our own will, surrended to the Lord. Trusting Him that what his word says is true and that we are not alone in any battle we fight! The act of surrendering our racing thoughts to God can be liberating. It allows us to step back, breathe, and remind ourselves that we are part of a larger plan. This is true peace, and what sets us Jesus followers apart from the rest. It's Hope, and a future. Trusting in His complete sovereignty over our lives, knowing that if we have faith..we find peace.
The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Paul reminds us that we can exchange our anxiety for divine peace in Jesus. THAT IS SUPERNATURAL!!
