When my mind stays on God, peace has a place to land.

A Bible affirmation for a heavy mind, rooted in Isaiah 26:3.

You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 26:3 · BSB

Reflection

Isaiah wrote this as a song for a future day of rescue. The promise is simple: a mind that leans on God is kept in perfect peace. Not a mind with every answer, just one that keeps coming back to trust.

A prayer

God, when my thoughts start racing, bring them back to You. Keep me in Your peace.
