Are You Craving Peace in a Chaotic World?

Live Today With FaithLeave a comment

Let’s face it—life today can feel like it’s too much.

You wake up and scroll the news: fear, violence, injustice.
You open social media: smiling faces, perfect lives, endless comparison.
You try to focus, but your mind is constantly pulled in a 100 different directions.

It’s exhausting.
And if you’re being honest… it’s draining your spirit.

You carry it quietly. The worry. The stress. The tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix.
You try to stay hopeful, but the weight of the world keeps pressing in.

And then there’s the inner stuff—
The guilt over what you should’ve done.
The resentment you wish you could let go of.
The doubts that creep in when God feels silent.

It’s no wonder your soul is tired.

Many of us are living spiritually depleted lives, constantly plugged into noise, pressure, and fear. We’re running on fumes—hoping that someday, somehow, peace will come.

But here’s the truth:
Peace isn’t something we find out there.
Peace is something we carry within—when we’re connected to God.

And that’s what led me to write God’s Perfect Peace.

A Gentle Invitation Back to Stillness

This book wasn’t written from a mountaintop.
It was written from the middle of the mess—from seasons of anxiety, exhaustion, and doubt

It’s not a how-to manual. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine.

It’s a conversation.
A companion.
A gentle reminder that peace is possible—even now.

Inside, you’ll find personal stories, honest reflections, and practical steps rooted in Scripture—all designed to help you:

  • Let go of fear and anxiety—even when life feels uncertain
  • Escape the grip of comparison, digital noise, and emotional exhaustion
  • Quiet the resentment, guilt, and inner criticism that steals your joy
  • Stop striving for approval and start resting in God’s unshakable love
  • Reconnect with God—even if He feels distant right now

You don’t need to “get it all together.”
You just need space to breathe—and an open heart.

This book helps you create that space.

Peace for You—and the Next Generation

As a special gift, you’ll also receive a bonus children’s book when you download God’s Perfect Peace.

Mia Learns About God’s Peace is a gentle, illustrated story for little ones.
It follows Mia, a young girl who learns how to find peace in God during a storm.

It’s perfect for family time, bedtime reading, or introducing your child to the God who calms our fears.

Because peace is not just for us.
It’s a gift we can pass down.

Your Soul Deserves Rest

If your spirit feels worn out from carrying too much
If you long to quiet the noise and reconnect with what’s real and lasting…

God’s Perfect Peace is here to help.
It will walk with you—step by step—toward a peace that stays steady, even when life isn’t

So take a breath.
Let this be your invitation back to stillness.

Are You Easily Distracted?

Live Today With Faith2 Comments

distracted

It’s so easy to get distracted in todays world. Most of the distractions will come from other people, social media playing a major role.

In a world full of distractions, you must learn to live undistracted, unphased by it all.

Fear, doubt and worry are the main distractions to living a healthy, successful life.

Don’t allow others to project their fears and insecurities on you. Never let the weakness of this world infiltrate your mind!

To do that you must walk in faith and understand the truth, you have been perfectly made with unique gifts and abilities. You have value to add to this world. You have unlimited power within you.

We live in a world that contains a lot of negative and jealous people. Many of them have weak faith or no faith at all. As they are disconnected from spirit they find it almost impossible to move forward so they try to hold you back putting their doubts and fears in your mind.

We all go through hard times but its important to remember hardship is only for a season, not a lifetime.

You may be going through the winter of your life but spring is on the way, then summer. Stand up in faith each day with the knowing that the season is about to change.

Just because your friends have given up on their dreams doesn’t mean you have to. Spend less time with those that don’t add value to your life and more time with those that propel you forward.

Don’t allow negative people to distract you and stop you following your destiny.

Have a good week.

The Best Way To Pray

Live Today With FaithLeave a comment

personal-prayer-request2_edit

When Brother Bruno was at prayer one night, he was disturbed by the croaking of a bullfrog. He tried to ignore the croaking, but all his attempts were unsuccessful. So he shouted from his window, “Quiet! I’m trying to pray.”

And since Bruno was a saint his command was instantly obeyed. Every living creäture within earshot held its voice to create a silence that would be favourable to prayer.

But now another sound intruded on Bruno’s worship- an inner voice that said, “Maybe God is as pleased with the croaking of that frog as with your prayers.”

“Nonsense,” was Bruno’s response “how could God like that sound?” But the voice refused to give up: “Why then do you think God invented that sound?”

The voice unsettled Bruno, so he decided to do some research. He called out once again from his window but this time giving the order, “Sing!”

SILENCE

The bullfrog started croaking at once; with all the other frogs in the vicinity as a backing group. But as Bruno listened this time he discovered that, if he stopped resisting them, they enriched the silence of the night.

With that discovery, Bruno’s heart became harmonious with the universe and, for the first time in his life he understood what it meant to pray.

Praying is so much more than chanting or a series of words., no matter how profound the words may be. Praying is about paying attention to the world we’re living in, its about paying attention to the presence and power of creation.

The sound of the birds singing at dusk, a flowing stream, or the rustling of the trees in the wind.

Every sight and sound, whether it be a bird singing, the sound of water, or in Brother Bruno’s experience, a bullfrog, can help us to understand if we pay attention, the precious value of everything in creation.

So this week, take a moment each day to stop and listen to the world around you. Listen to all the sounds that God created, and be thankful.

And the more you listen, the more calmness and certainty will enter your life. And the more that calmness and certainty enters your life the quicker your fears and worries will fade away.

It’s not that they magically disappear, but they no longer have the same power over you.

Each of us has a spiritual journey, but on that journey fear worry and doubt are all dead ends.

Get yourself on the road of acceptance, get yourself on the road of awareness, get yourself on the road of faith. Be happier, healthier and more fulfilled.

Thanks for reading and have a good week.

 

 

Don’t Worry

beautiful sunrise

Matthew 6:31-34

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Firstly I would like to thank you for following me, I truly appreciate your time, and I want you to know I pray for you each day.

I firmly believe that we all have been given a divine destiny; a special gift that is unique to us. Happiness and fulfilment come when we use that gift to help others; which results in making this world a better place.

Too often we step back in fear, with the attitude that we are not worthy of the new relationship, the new job, the new career. I would like you to know that you are worthy; you have a light within you that you must allow to shine into the world.

If you feel held back in fear at this present moment, my book Power of Choice – Choose faith not fear can help you rekindle your faith. It is free on Amazon until Thursday 11.59pm.

My main aim as an author is to inspire change in the lives of my readers, one verse, one story, one sentence, can be all it takes to open the door to the next level of your destiny. This is one of my daily prayers.

We all work on our fitness; doing the best that we can to keep healthy. Faith is no different, it needs constant work and maintenance.

When you see someone that never seems to get into difficulty or never seems to be stressed, this is not by chance. This person has very little fear in his or her life.

Enjoy the book; may it bring you happiness.
