A War of the Mind
“For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6 (NASB 1995)
What fills your head when you’re alone? Your answer might explain why peace feels out of reach.
Paul makes it clear: thoughts that revolve around the flesh—self, image, pleasure—lead to death. But when your mind is set on the Spirit, there’s life and peace.
You can’t manufacture peace. It’s a byproduct of living in sync with God.
Challenge:
Today, write down what you think about most. Are those thoughts Spirit-led or flesh-fed?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want peace, not pressure. Rewire my mind to seek You, not the world. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
