Alright, friend… you made it through Thanksgiving.

The food was loud. The people were louder.The spiritual atmosphere? Let’s just say it was a lot.

And if you woke up today feeling wrung out instead of radiant,you’re in the right place.

This is the Saturday where everything catches up with you —the emotions you held in, the patience you overspent, the peace you tried to keep from leaking out the side.

Today is not about pretending you’re fine.It’s about getting realigned, recentered, and restored.

Because God doesn’t just show up in the big moments —He shows up in the aftermath.

So settle in. Take a breath.We’re going to walk through what got shaken, strengthen what held,and rebuild what wore thin.

Welcome to this post-Thanksgiving recovery mission.Let’s get your peace back online.”

Lyrics: ”Restore Me Now”

[VERSE 1]

When the noise still fills my mind,And the day won’t let me rest,You remind me You are faithful,And in You my heart is blessed.Every thought that felt unsteady,Every place I felt undone—You whisper peace inside the pressure,And my healing has begun.

[CHORUS]

Restore me, Lord, restore me now—I’m tired from the strain.Your peace is still my refuge strong,Your presence still remains.Restore me, Lord, restore me now—Let all my fears unwind.You steady every trembling placeAnd guard my weary mind.

[VERSE 2]

When my patience ran too thin,And my grace felt worn and small,You hold me in Your mercy,And You never shame my fall.Every moment I reacted,Every place I couldn’t cope—You flood my heart with gentle truthAnd pull me back to hope.

[CHORUS]

Restore me, Lord, restore me now—I’m tired from the strain.Your peace is still my refuge strong,Your presence still remains.Restore me, Lord, restore me now—Let all my fears unwind.You steady every trembling placeAnd guard my weary mind.

[VERSE 3]

When the ache I carried lingered,And old wounds began to rise,You covered me with kindnessAs You cleared the weary skies.You touched the places I’d forgotten,The ones I tucked away—And filled them with Your healing breathTo face another day.

[CHORUS]

Restore me, Lord, restore me now—I’m tired from the strain.Your peace is still my refuge strong,Your presence still remains.Restore me, Lord, restore me now—Let all my fears unwind.You steady every trembling placeAnd guard my weary mind.

[VERSE 4]

When my strength felt thin and borrowed,And my courage lost its flame,You lifted me with quiet loveAnd called me by my name.You turned my sighs to steady breathing,My weariness to grace—And step by step You filled my heartWith peace I can’t replace.

[BRIDGE]

You lift the weight I carried,You mend the parts I strained;You calm the storm inside me—Your love is not ashamed.You call the tired to refuge,You call the restless near;Your voice restores my reverence—Your presence casts out fear.

[FINAL CHORUS]

Restore me, Lord, restore me now—I’m tired from the strain.Your peace is still my refuge strong,Your presence still remains.Restore me, Lord, restore me now—Let all my fears unwind.You steady every trembling placeAnd guard my weary mind.

[OUTRO]

So breathe on me with stillness,And call my soul to rise;My peace begins again today,With mercy as my guide.

BATTLE CRY — “Restore Me Now”

“Lord, I rise today in Your strength,not the scraps of yesterday’s peace.Restore what got shaken.Rebuild what got stretched thin.Every wound, every word, every weight—I release it into Your hands.

Today, I take back my clarity.I take back my peace.I take back my footing in the Spirit.No shame. No heaviness. No leftovers from the battle.

Your presence steadies me.Your mercy lifts me.Your truth anchors me.

I stand restored.I stand renewed.I stand Yours.

Amen.”
