Finding True Peace in a Digital World | Prayer to Overcome Social Media Anxiety | 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Welcome to Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast with Reverend Ben Cooper

Do you find your peace slipping away as you scroll endlessly through social media? You're not alone. In today’s soul-refreshing five-minute prayer meditation, Reverend Ben Cooper confronts this modern spiritual challenge with compassionate honesty and powerful biblical truth. Rooted in 2 Thessalonians 3:16, where God declares Himself “the Lord of peace,” this episode invites you to step off the “devil’s playground” of digital distraction and reclaim your spiritual rest.

Episode Overview:

In an age where smartphones and social media dominate our attention, many believers struggle with anxiety, fear, and restless minds. Reverend Ben paints a vivid picture of how “the devil’s playground” keeps us trapped in cycles of comparison, worry, and exhaustion. This prayer offers a divine invitation to pause, lay down your phone, and fix your eyes on Jesus—the only true source of lasting peace and restoration.

This devotional not only acknowledges the spiritual tension created by digital overload but also offers a practical pathway back to calm through Scripture and prayer. You’ll be led to surrender your anxieties and invite God’s peace to saturate your heart and mind, even amidst life’s chaos.

• 2 Thessalonians 3:16 — “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.”
• John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.”
• Philippians 4:6-7 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
• Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.”

 True rest is found in God’s presence when we choose stillness and faith over anxiety.

Practical Life Application:

If you’re overwhelmed by digital noise or trapped in the endless scroll of social media, this episode offers a timely spiritual reset. Use this prayer as your daily anchor to break free from anxiety and refocus your heart on God’s promises. Establish healthy boundaries with technology by dedicating moments of stillness to prayer and Scripture.

This five-minute meditation empowers you to replace restless thoughts with God’s peace, build resilience against fear and doubt, and experience divine restoration amid a busy, distracted world.
