Is there anything that can actually calm a mind like mine?

Is there anything that can actually calm a mind like mine? - Fountain of Grace International

Some minds just will not stop. You get into bed and the thoughts start. You sit down to eat and the worry pulls you back. You know it is not helping. You cannot switch it off anyway. That is not weakness, that is what a frightened mind does. And God does not tell you to try harder or think better. He makes a straight promise to the person whose thoughts keep turning back to Him.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

- Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

Pick one worry that has been loud this week, just one. Write it down on a piece of paper or the notes app on your phone. Then write Isaiah 26:3 underneath it. Pray it back to God before you sleep tonight. That is the action. One worry, one verse, one prayer.

Lord, my mind is tired. I cannot fix that on my own. I am turning it toward You right now, not because I feel peaceful, but because You promised to keep me. Hold my thoughts today. Amen.
