Clearing the Mental Clutter: Finding Peace by Bringing Worry to God

Some days there’s simply too much going around in your head. Bills need paying, appointments need remembering, work is still on your mind, and family concerns can follow you through the whole day. Before long, even small things can feel like too much.In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson looks at clearing the mental clutter that builds when you’re trying to carry too many things at once. He talks about simple ways to deal with what you can, and what it means to bring the things you can’t control to God in prayer. Ken also shares a deeply personal experience from 16 years ago, when his three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and how prayer helped him and his wife Wendy, through days of overwhelming fear and uncertainty.This isn’t about pretending your worries aren’t real or expecting prayer to make difficult circumstances disappear suddenly. It’s about learning to recognise what you can deal with today and what you need to leave with God.In this episode:Clear some of the everyday clutter filling your mindRecognise the difference between action and worryBring family concerns and uncertainty honestly to GodPray when you don’t know what to sayFind hope and peace while you’re still waitingChristian living doesn’t happen away from ordinary pressures.
