GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE WITH GOD

-

 

In any healthy relationship, being “on the same page” is key. Whether it’s between spouses, friends, or colleagues, unity makes communication flow and decisions clear. The same principle applies to our relationship with God. Yet often, we expect God to get on our page—blessing our plans, approving our timelines, and aligning with our desires. But true peace and progress come when we get on His page.

God’s Page is Perfect

The prophet Isaiah reminds us: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8). God sees the bigger picture—the past, the present, and the future all at once. His page is not just different; it’s perfect. When we trust His wisdom over our limited understanding, we begin to step into alignment with His greater plan.

The Struggle of Control

Let’s be honest—getting on God’s page isn’t always easy. We like control. We like predictability. We like to feel certain. But faith requires surrender. It asks us to lay down our script and pick up His. Sometimes, His page looks like waiting when we want to run. Sometimes it looks like forgiveness when we’d rather hold a grudge. Sometimes it looks like obedience when we don’t fully understand.

Practical Ways to Align with God

  • Pray for guidance, not just outcomes. Instead of asking God to bless what you’ve written, ask Him to write the story.

  • Soak in His Word. Scripture is the “page” God has already given us. The more we read, the clearer His voice becomes.

  • Practice daily surrender. Each morning, invite God to direct your steps instead of simply following your own plan.

  • Listen in silence. Sometimes alignment happens not in speaking, but in stillness where God can shift our hearts.

The Blessing of Alignment

When we finally get on God’s page, something changes inside us. We no longer chase peace—we carry it. We stop striving and start trusting. Life may not always look the way we pictured, but it will always unfold with divine purpose.

Getting on the same page with God doesn’t mean life will be free of struggle. But it does mean that we’ll be anchored, guided, and secure—walking hand in hand with the One who writes the best story of all.

LOADED BUT NOT FIRED - IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT

-

  There’s a powerful truth circulating in the mental health space: "Genetics loads the gun, but environment pulls the trigger." This statement is more than a metaphor—it’s a mirror. It reflects the realities many people live with silently. Some are born with a biological predisposition toward depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. But it is often the environment—the chaos at home, the pressure at school, the trauma in the neighborhood, or the silence in the church—that pulls the trigger. And here’s what we must remember: We can’t always change the genes—but we can absolutely change the environment. That’s where you and I come in. Why This Matters Now We are living in a mental health crisis. Suicide rates are rising. Youth are overwhelmed. Adults are exhausted. Communities are under-supported. And too many people are still suffering in silence because they think their pain is a personal failure. But mental health is not a matter of weak will—it is often a ma...

THE CHANGING WORLD VIEW

  Have you ever felt like the world around you is shifting beneath your feet? Like the things we once called “normal” are now fragments of a memory we can barely piece together? Welcome to the world as we know it —or perhaps more accurately, the world as we knew it. From the digital explosion that lets us speak across continents in seconds to the emotional disconnect that ironically grows in an age of constant connectivity, we are living in a paradox. Technological breakthroughs are accelerating, global awareness is expanding, and yet, deep within us, many are whispering the same question: “Where is all of this really taking us?” The Speed of Change Change has always been a part of human history, but the pace today is breathless. Artificial intelligence is writing books and diagnosing diseases. Climate patterns are reshaping cities and coastlines. Identity, truth, even time itself—everything feels negotiable. What was certain yesterday becomes debatable today. But this isn’t ...
