“Overthinking Is Overrated!”

Beloved, overthinking is the silent thief of peace. It replays the past, fears the future, and blinds us to what God is doing right now. The mind becomes loud, but the Spirit whispers, “Be still.” You can’t fix what only faith can heal. Pray, take appropriate action because faith w/o works is dead, and then leave it in God’s hands.

Isaiah 26:3 says: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” This verse doesn’t promise peace because everything is calm; it promises peace because the heart is anchored in trust. The Hebrew phrase “perfect peace” translates to shalom shalom—a double portion of peace. That means a peace that remains even when life shakes. God’s peace doesn’t come from having all the answers; it comes from resting in the One who does.

And the New Testament echoes this 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.” Peace is not the absence of problems—it’s the presence of God in the middle of them.

So Beloved, release what’s weighing on your mind. Stop overthinking, start trusting. You can rest when you’ve prayed, because God never sleeps on your situation. His peace is already standing guard over your heart.

Pray with me:

Father God, forgive me for the times I’ve tried to figure out what only You can work out. Calm my racing thoughts and quiet my anxious heart. Teach me to fix my mind on You, that I may walk in perfect peace. I trust that You are already working on my behalf. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
