Many thanks to Harper Collins Christian Publishing for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

This world is full of a lot of things to worry about. From politics to daily schedules, we are bombarded with images, opinions, and things that distract us from God's love. As you head back into the new school season that will be full of new worries, check out Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart. This new devotional by Lysa TerKurst will help center your heart and focus on God's faithfulness. 

Find out how Jesus will provide rest for our weary souls, how God's faithfulness will help us endure the daily anxieties life throws at us, and how Matthew 11:28 will ring true each and every day. 

This devotional is meant to be used regularly at night, helping us to calm our minds, hearts, and spirits before we go to bed. I don't know about you, but I have trouble turning off the triggers. The mental to-do list, the never ending list of activities and things to do, and the conversations I've had with people always replay in my head at night.

I also must admit- I am not a morning person, so waking up to spend time with Jesus before I need to walk the dog, get out the door, and get to work doesn't always happen. Spending time with Jesus at night is perfect for me!

Shut off the tv, turn the notifications on mute, and open up this devotional for great inspiration, scripture, and a wonderful chance to experience God's mercy. This devotional has 50 days of writings to guide us into the comfort of our Father's arms. 

Each daily devotional includes a scripture, a short writing, a prayer, and a special insight to carry with us to sleep and well into the next day. It's not a prayer journal but you can certainly journal in another book, mark it up, write notes, etc. 

Devotionals are also written by different people, so that you have different voices to reflect upon. I've found that with some devotionals, the writer's voice doesn't vary much, so I appreciate different authors, as they all have different contribution's to enable us to grow closer to God. 



The scriptures are printed out, but you can skip over to your bible and read the entire passage so that you get context to each verse and what the biblical author was referencing. The bible was written for a certain time and place, but those people still had their own worries, even if they are slightly different from ours today.

Devotionals are split into four sections over this 50-day period: Balancing Daily Obligations & Pressures, Confronting Fear & Uncertainty, Navigating Family Concerns, and Trusting God during difficult times. While you could follow this straight through day by day, if you are encountering a specific issue, there is a table of contents to help you decipher what your heart needs best. 

This 50-day devotional is a wonderful way to spend time in quiet and peace at the end of a busy calming day. The bonus is that each devotional isn't long or boring, so it can be done quickly to allow you to drift off to dreamland! If you can't sleep, you can spend extra time praying and reflecting on each writing. 

I've struggled with a lot of devotionals in the past due to various reasons. The writer's voice, the theology, it's all going to be okay mentality. I like how this devotional is clear, direct, but provides thought-provoking questions to reflect upon our relationships with God and each other. It's not full of fluff, but full of honesty and truth. It helps direct us towards the one that brings ultimate peace, and for that, I'm thankful for Lisa and the Proverbs 31 writing team. 

I hope that you find solace when you pick up this devotional, as I have. May you find rest and give your anxieties to Jesus, the one that brings peace. 

Wake up feeling refreshed and excited to tackle your day while using Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart. While the world will always be full of worry, don't lose sleep, and give your anxieties and worries over to Jesus.
