The DBLM Ministries theme for 2026 is Still Executing: The Year of Shalom
Isaiah 26:3 (ESV) “You will keep him perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
As the founder of this ministry, it is always my desire and passion to make sure that you receive Godly wisdom and counsel to remind you of God’s love and his genuine care for your soul.
I’ve been in heavy contemplation during this season of my life as I continue to gain healing, wholeness and full remission from autoimmune diagnoses that have disrupted my life like it did 20 years ago.
I’ve been seeking shalom. Not just peace, but wholeness, contentment and completeness in this journey along with greater patience in the process.
I want to share some things about shalom that I’ve gained through some scriptual research, revelation and reflection. May it be good food for your soul this March. ☘️
1. Shalom Is God’s Gift, Not Something You Must Earn. Freely receive the gift of Shalom.
“You will keep him in perfect peace (shalom) whose mind is stayed on you, because are he trusts in you.” — Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)
This peace is supernatural—it’s not based on your circumstances, but your anchoring. God keeps your mind and heart in peace when you choose to trust Him daily, not because you always feel peaceful, but because He is faithful.
🕊️ Try: When anxious thoughts rise, pause and say, “Lord, I trust You even here (in this unknown, in this wilderness, in this anxiousness, in this chaos, in this unsettling) Be my peace.”
Trust Him for Shalom.

2. Embrace your Healing Process
“He restores my soul.” — Psalm 23:3a (ESV)
Healing and restoration take time. Sometimes we desire shalom to be a quick resolution. God often restores layer by layer. Let Him work in you—physically, emotionally, spiritually—without rushing the process. The best way to achieve complete and total healing, meaning a wholeness from the damage within a wound, or the battle scars of life is to allow each layer to heal from the inside out, be physically, emotionally, and or spiritually.
🕊️ Try: Spend 5-10 minutes in quiet stillness daily. Ask God, “What part of me are You restoring today?”
Lean in and receive your restoration.

3. Release What You Can’t Control
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7
There is so much we cannot control but sometimes we need to be reminded to release what we can’t control so that we can have shalom. You’ve been carrying a lot, think about what that is for you, write it down even so that you can see everything on your plate and what needs to be surrendered to God. Shalom begins with surrender. That doesn’t mean giving up; it means giving over what’s too heavy for us to carry alone.
🕊️ Try: Write down what feels out of your hands, then pray over it and tear or burn the paper as a physical release.
Let go of the weight of the unknown and embrace shalom.

4. Let God Rebuild Your Hope
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope in the future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
This verse isn’t cliché—it was written to exiles who had lost everything. God was reminding them: even in your “exile,” I’m not done writing your story. This is faith stretching; and the question is can we endure being stretched out like a rubberband as part of our faith walk?
🕊️ Try: Each night, write one sentence beginning with “God is still…”
(e.g., “God is still healing me,” “God is still opening doors,” “God is still restoring me.”etc.)
Wholeness requires allowing God to reconstruct us from the inside out. Trust him in the reconstruction process.

5. Intentionally Connect with Community
Even when you feel isolated, shalom grows in connection—with God and with safe, loving people. Look for shalom support. Find an authentic support system, this can
be trusted friends, a support group for a particular issue or soul challenge or a local fellowship that nurtures your spirit, not drains it.
“Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (NIV)
🕊️ Try: Check your connections. Evaluate how much time you spend alone and with others to make adjusts for shalom.
Don’t let difficult situations isolate you. Shalom is found both individually and with safe souls.
