Audio Version
Psalm 23:3 — “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
Have you ever found yourself unable to pray—not because you do not want to, but because your mind feels clouded, weary, and overwhelmed? You sit with your Bible, longing for connection, but the words do not seem to register. Your thoughts are tangled in anxiety, fear and doubt. This is not fatigue; it is a sign your soul is in dire need of restoration.
David’s words in our opening scripture reveal God as the Restorer of the soul. Your soul includes your mind, your will, and your emotion. Many of life’s battles are first fought in the mind, and when your thoughts are weighed down by fear, failure, confusion, or constant pressure, your ability to pray, hope, or act with wisdom becomes affected. But the good news is this: God is deeply invested in restoring the health & soundness of your mind. As you continue in His Word, allowing it to take root in you, your mind begins to shift away from heaviness and into alignment with truth.
Today, choose to seek God intentionally in prayer. Ask Him to forgive you for the times your mind wandered away from His truth. Study His Word and allow it to confront and replace every lie the enemy has planted. God specializes in mind restoration, that is why He gave you access to a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). With a renewed mind, you can walk confidently in the life He has designed for you. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
CZECH REPUBLIC
The Czech Republic gained independence from communist rule in 1989 and split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 1993. The country has a stable economy, driven by foreign investment, low costs, and a skilled labor force. However, the fall of communism also brought challenges, including a rise in atheism and uncertainty about God’s existence. Over 40% of the population professes atheism, and 16% are uncertain. The Catholic Church has a stronger presence, but its priests and laity are aging. Protestant churches are enjoying religious freedom for the second time since 1620, but their presence is limited. The country faces complacency, which may have contributed to the rise in atheism and uncertainty.
