The Overthinker's DevotionalExemplo

WRITE AND ORGANIZE

Sometimes the best way to deal with overwhelming thoughts is to organize them well. I often write mine down on paper or type them on a screen so I have a visual. Another way I sometimes organize my thoughts is in a prioritized list of tasks along with a schedule to follow. Or it might be through written prayers and pleadings to God, telling Him my fears and concerns and then adding truth from scriptures to remember and apply to them. All kinds of beneficial, biblically based journals are available to help us take control of our thoughts and prayers and tasks, and to be more productive and intentional with them. God is not a God of confusion but of peace, and He will help us bring order and peace to our busy minds. He knows our every thought (Psalm 139:2), and we can let Him help us with all of them.

Prayer: Father God, I believe You know my every thought, and I’m in awe that You still love me endlessly. I’m so grateful. Please help me to keep my thoughts where You want them to be and in good order, not in chaos and confusion. Amen.
