Tell Him Everything, Then Peace
What Season Is This?
Good Morning, Friends!
I almost didn't go live today. I almost convinced myself that it didn’t matter, that I could just skip it. But all I kept hearing in my spirit was: “Tell them everything, then peace.”
And so here I am.
Maybe you’ve been in a season like that too—where showing up feels hard, where the noise of life drowns out the still, small voice you used to hear so clearly. I’ll be honest, I don’t know exactly what this season is, but I do know that God is in it.
Scriptural Foundation
Psalm 139:23-24 (TPT)
“God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting ways—the path that brings me back to You.”
I don’t have to search myself to figure out what’s wrong. I don’t have to dissect every anxious thought. God is the One who searches me, who finds the pain, who leads me to where I need to be. That’s a relief, isn’t it?
Key Takeaways
Spiritual Insight: Sometimes, we don’t have to have the answers—we just have to be willing to be led.
Personal Story Impact: This season feels like a stripping away, a pruning. And yet, I trust that God is making room for new growth.
Scripture Application: When I pray Psalm 139, I realize that I don't have to fix myself—God does the searching, the refining, the leading.
Practical Action Step: Start your day by simply telling God everything. No filter. No holding back. Then rest in the peace that follows.
Emotional Transformation: There’s freedom in realizing we are not meant to have it all figured out. Our job is to trust, to follow, to abide.
Personal Reflection: When Everything Feels Uprooted
Lately, I’ve felt uprooted. Have you ever felt that way? Like everything that once gave you stability is being shaken?
I have a plant in my living room that was thriving—until it wasn’t. My daughter, Grace, looked up what to do and did some “surgery” on it. She cut it all the way back, down to nothing but sticks. She placed the cuttings in water, and they are now thriving. The plant in the soil, though? It’s still bare. But—there’s new growth sprouting from the base.
That’s what God does with us, isn’t it? He prunes. He uproots. And even when we feel like we’ve been stripped bare, He is still working beneath the surface.
John 15:2 (NIV)
“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
Trusting Him with the Outcome
I’ll be honest—right now, I don’t like people. Not because of anything specific, but just… people. I feel anxious in public. I struggle to leave my house. I wrestle with spending money when I don’t know what the future holds. This is not who I used to be. And yet, God is still here. Even in this discomfort.
Sometimes, trusting God means letting Him take us to places we don’t want to go. But He is leading us to peace, even if the road feels rocky.
Psalm 32:8-9 (TPT)
“I hear the Lord saying, ‘I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make Me tug you and pull you along. Just come with Me!’”
Just come with Me.
That’s it. That’s the invitation. Not to strive. Not to have all the answers. Just to come.
For an Audience of One
This morning, as I sat wrestling with whether or not to show up, God reminded me: “Tell them everything, then peace.”
What if peace is waiting on the other side of honesty? What if the only thing standing between us and the comfort of His presence is our own hesitation to be real with Him?
I don’t want to be a “What now?” person. I want to be a “Yes, Lord” person.
How about you?
Final Reflection & Call to Engagement
Have you ever felt uprooted? Stripped down to nothing? How did God show up for you in that season?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Drop a comment, share your heart, and let’s walk this road together.
Praying for you,
Celeste
