🌟 Shinemas Day 9 — The Truth That Steadies the Mind**
Scripture:
*“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
*John 8:32 (KJV)**
Anxiety has a way of distorting truth. It takes small worries and magnifies them. It takes uncertainty and turns it into fear. It whispers lies that sound convincing in quiet moments—especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally vulnerable.
But Jesus offers something different.
He offers **truth that steadies**, not shames.
Truth doesn’t shout at you.
Truth doesn’t rush you.
Truth gently anchors you when your thoughts feel scattered.
Jesus knows that the mind can be a battlefield. He knows how easily fear takes root when we’re exhausted or afraid. That’s why He doesn’t just offer encouragement—He offers **freedom through truth**. Not the truth anxiety tells you, but the truth God speaks over you.
Truth says: *You are not failing.*
Truth says: *You are not forgotten.*
Truth says: *You are not weak for struggling.*
Truth says: *God is with you right now.*
Freedom doesn’t always come from changing your circumstances. Often, it comes from learning how to recognize which voices you’re listening to. When anxiety speaks, it pressures. When Jesus speaks, He brings peace—even when the answers aren’t immediate.
Today, you don’t need to silence every anxious thought. You simply need to hold those thoughts up to the light of God’s truth and ask, *“Is this what Jesus says about me?”*
Let His truth steady your breathing.
Let His words ground your heart.
Let His light quiet the noise.
