My Oura Ring Thought I Took a Nap…

Last night, my Oura Ring detected a 32-minute nap.

The funny thing is, I wasn’t sleeping.

I was leading a group through a soaking session, spending time with Jesus and resting in His presence.

It reminded me that God created us as body, soul, and spirit. When we slow down, open our hearts to Him, and align ourselves with His love, it doesn’t just affect us spiritually, it can affect us physically as well.

I wasn’t napping, but my body apparently experienced the same kind of rest.

Maybe that’s because true rest isn’t simply sleep. Sometimes it’s found in the presence of Jesus.

What if the transformation you're searching for is hidden in the very thing you're most afraid to let go of?

Surrender feels like a scary word, doesn't it?

We often mistake it for losing control or admitting defeat.

But in the journey of heart story transformation, surrender is actually an invitation, an invitation to stop carrying the weight of your wounds, perfectionism, striving, and "what-ifs" on your own.

When we open our hands and place our heart stories into Jesus' hands, we create space for Him to do what only He can do: restore, renew, and rewrite.

Peace isn't found in having all the answers or finally being "enough" on your own. It's found in trusting the One who is already enough for you.

Maybe the breakthrough you're longing for begins with letting go.

✨ Need help surrendering?

I've created a short guided prayer to help you release your burdens, quiet your heart, and rest in the presence of Jesus.

What voice are you agreeing with today?

Many of us assume that when we feel distant from God, He has moved away.

But Scripture tells a different story.

In the Garden, God didn't leave Adam. Adam listened to a different voice. Shame, fear, and self-doubt caused him to hide.

The same thing happens today.

When we agree with thoughts like:

I'm not enough.
I don't have what it takes.
I'll probably fail.
Someone else could do it better.

we begin living from those beliefs rather than from God's truth.

The good news?

God hasn't moved.

The invitation is not to strive harder. It's to realign our hearts with what He has already spoken.

Freedom often begins with one question:

Whose voice am I agreeing with?

We begin living from those beliefs rather than from God's truth.n 10:27

At 2:00 AM, I woke up with a "what if" thought that wouldn't leave.

I prayed.

I asked God to renew my mind.

Then I pressed play on my *Calm Your Mind in 8 Minutes* guided prayer.

As I listened, I released the worry to Jesus.

Eight minutes later, I felt peace.

And I fell asleep.

*"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."* — 1 Peter 5:7

For more than 70 years, Lee carried a belief that shaped her entire life:

"It's easier if I don't tell."
As a little girl, Lee experienced trauma that left her feeling unheard, unseen, and without a voice.

Although she had shared parts of her story over the years, the wound beneath it remained.

She learned to stay quiet, avoid conflict, and put everyone else's needs ahead of her own.

What she didn't realize was that a childhood wound had become a lifelong pattern.

During an Immanuel Prayer healing session through Spark Our Spirit Ministries, Lee invited Jesus into those painful memories.

Together, we uncovered the lie that had quietly influenced her life for decades and exchanged it for God's truth.

After more than 70 years, Lee experienced freedom.

She described feeling lighter, more at peace, and more connected to the voice God had given her.

Moments like this are why Spark Our Spirit Ministries exists.
