Gaining peace often means releasing the illusion of control. Your brain loves certainty, but your soul was made for trust. When you hand God the outcome, you give your mind room to rest instead of rehearsing every worst-case scenario. You can be faithful today without knowing how tomorrow will turn out. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3 #selfbrainsurgery

I'll never forget, January 2005 in Iraq. I was there as a combat Neurosurgeon, and ended up performing over 200 brain surgeries in a tent hospital, survived over 100 mortar and rocket attacks. The day of the first free Iraqi elections in several generations, I operated all day because the bad guys kept shooting up polling places. One man, whose son was shot in the head, told me after I save the boys life that it had been the best day of his adult life, because his son survived and he got to vote. I won't ever fail to vote again since that day. Freedom isn't free.
