What God Says About Overthinking

from Self Love Journaling with God Hosted by Shawnda Dewberry

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode, we’re slowing down the swirl of overthinking — those looping thoughts that replay, predict, and exhaust the heart. Together, we’ll explore what God says about overthinking, why it steals our peace, and how journaling can help us release control and rest in His timing. You’ll walk away with a guided journaling practice called “Write and Release”, a faith declaration for peace, and simple reflection tools to help you trade fear for trust this holiday season. Because sometimes the greatest act of faith isn’t doing more — it’s thinking less, trusting more, and letting God lead your mind back into peace.
