Peace in the Holy Spirit / ADHD, Holy Spirit, and Me / By Coach Kenya Joy Lately, my focus has been centered around protecting my peace. As someone living with ADHD, peace can often elude me amidst the overwhelming thoughts, lack of organization, and struggles with maintaining focus. However, in this current stage of my life, I recognize the immense importance of peace. The stressors of life have taken their toll, and finding peace has become a priority. In the midst of feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, I have discovered the power of connecting with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit serves as a calming presence, guiding me to a place of peace. When I turn to the Holy Spirit, the racing thoughts begin to subside, and distractions are minimized. It is through this divine connection that I find solace and tranquility. To nurture this connection and maintain a sense of peace, I often make time to step away from the busyness of life. I set aside moments for prayer and meditation on the word of God. These practices allow me to deepen my connection with the Holy Spirit and find a profound sense of peace within. In prayer and meditation, I am able to release my worries and concerns to the Holy Spirit. I find comfort in knowing that I am not alone in my struggles and that the Holy Spirit is always there to guide and support me. As I immerse myself in the word of God, I am reminded of His promises and the unchanging truth that brings peace to my soul. By staying connected to the Holy Spirit and actively seeking moments of prayer and reflection, I am able to safeguard my peace. These practices become an anchor amidst the storm, enabling me to navigate the challenges of ADHD with a greater sense of serenity. Protecting my peace has become a priority in my life. It is through the connection with the Holy Spirit and the intentional cultivation of quiet moments that I am able to find relief from the chaos. The peace that surpasses all understanding becomes a guiding light, leading me toward a place of clarity and calm. While ADHD may bring its challenges, I have discovered that peace is not beyond reach. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and my commitment to maintaining a spiritual practice, I am able to nurture a sense of peace that sustains me amidst life’s trials. The Holy Spirit’s presence brings calm to my mind, enabling me to embrace each day with renewed focus and a greater sense of inner peace.
