Day 114

Today has been one of those grounding days where I felt the need to realign my heart and mind. Lately, I’ve just been reminding myself of something simple but powerful: God over everything.

Not just when things are easy. Not just when doors are opening. But especially when life feels uncertain, heavy, or overwhelming.

Today, I consciously chose God over my fears. Over the quiet doubts that try to creep in when I’m stepping into something bigger. I chose His voice over the noise in my own head. His promises over the problems that sometimes feel louder than they should. It’s so easy to magnify what’s in front of us, but when I zoom out, I remember that God is greater than any situation I’m facing.

He’s bigger than my past. Bigger than mistakes. Bigger than setbacks. Bigger than the “what if” thoughts that try to steal peace. And He’s stronger than any worry that tries to sit heavy on my heart.

When life feels like a lot, I’ve learned to put Him first instead of trying to fix everything myself. When decisions feel hard, I pause and trust His direction. When I feel tired or stretched thin, I lean on His strength instead of pretending I can handle it all alone.

I don’t want to live by pressure anymore. Pressure to prove. Pressure to perform. Pressure to keep up. I want to live by purpose. I don’t want to walk by what I see in front of me. I want to walk by faith, even when I don’t have every detail figured out.

God over my plans, even the ones I’m excited about. God over my emotions when they try to lead instead of follow. God over my finances, my opportunities, my future. When He is first, everything else falls into place the way it’s supposed to.

Today was a reminder that peace doesn’t come from control. It comes from surrender.

And that’s exactly where I want to stay.
