Overthinking? How to Stop the Spiral and Find God's Peace

Overthinking? How to Stop the Spiral and Find God's Peace

Author: Kim Dolan Leto – Bestselling Author & Christian Life Coach March 17, 2026 Duration: 16:21

Do you ever replay conversations in your mind… wondering if you said the wrong thing or made the wrong decision?

Overthinking and anxious thoughts can quietly steal your peace — causing your mind to spiral into worry, analysis, and trying to control outcomes that actually belong to God.

Many Christian women struggle with this.

We want to make the right decisions.
We want to honor God.
We want to steward our lives well.

But when our minds start trying to carry things God never asked us to carry, our thoughts can quickly become exhausting.

In this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I'm sharing what Scripture teaches about overthinking, anxious thoughts, and how to renew your mind so you can return to God's peace.

You'll learn why mental spirals happen, how our thoughts begin replaying conversations and future worries, and how anchoring your mind in God's Word helps restore peace.

If your mind ever feels restless or overwhelmed, this episode will remind you that peace begins when we stop trying to do God's job and start trusting Him.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why overthinking often happens when we try to control outcomes that belong to God
• How replaying conversations and future worries creates spiraling
• Why renewing your mind through Scripture changes the direction of your thoughts
• How prayer, gratitude, and surrender bring your mind back to peace
• A simple question you can ask when your thoughts start spinning

This episode will help you stop trying to carry everything in your own strength and begin returning your thoughts to God's truth.

When truth leads your thoughts, God's peace follows.

Scripture Referenced in This Episode
