Your thoughts are not your master - through Christ, you have the power to take them back.

In this episode of the Battle Drill Devotional, we explore the quiet, often-overlooked war waged in our minds. Many of us know the feeling: anxious loops, old wounds that resurface without warning, critical inner voices that grow louder by the day. The apostle Paul understood this spiritual battleground and wrote about it in 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NLT): “We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
This devotional gently but firmly reminds us: we are not stuck. In The Salvation Army, we witness time and again how individuals, walking through addiction, trauma, or despair, begin to speak hope - not because life magically becomes easier, but because Christ reshapes their thinking. One thought at a time.
The path to spiritual maturity begins with attention, not action. Today’s devotional calls us to name the thoughts that steal our peace, to challenge them in the light of Scripture, and to surrender them to Jesus. We’re not being asked to plaster over our pain with cheerful slogans. Instead, we’re invited into a deep and healing partnership with Christ - one that begins in the mind and overflows into life.
Tune in to discover how you can quiet the noise and listen for the voice of peace. This is your invitation to stop letting your thoughts run the show - and let God renew your mind.
