We scroll before we pray.

We refresh more than we rest.
 We’re connected to everything — yet often disconnected from what truly matters.

The feed never stops. And while we scroll for laughter, news, or community, we also absorb distractions, distortions, and noise that quietly shape how we think, feel, and even believe.

In a world where content never sleeps, how do we keep Christ at the centre?

 Why Your Feed Shapes Your Faith

Every scroll is a seed. The images we see, the voices we follow, the things we double-tap — they form a digital diet that nourishes or starves our spirit.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
 — Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

Faith is fragile when constantly distracted. And yet, God calls us to live wisely — not just in church, but online too.

 Pause. Reflect. Realign.

You don’t have to quit social media to honour God — but you do need to be intentional.

Try asking yourself:

• Does my feed lead me toward peace or away from it?
  
  
• Am I scrolling with purpose or out of habit?
  
  
• Who is discipling me — influencers or the Holy Spirit?

 Practical Steps to Honour Christ Online

Here’s how to make your feed a place of faith:

• Start your scroll with prayer: Ask God to guide your eyes and guard your heart.
  
  
• Unfollow noise: If an account fuels anxiety, envy, or distraction — it’s okay to mute or remove it.
  
  
• Follow faith-builders: Surround your digital space with Scripture, worship, and truth.
  
  
• Limit your feed. Grow your faith: Set screen boundaries so your spiritual life has room to breathe.
  
  
• Reflect Christ in what you post: Use your voice for kindness, encouragement, and light.

A Digital Challenge for You

This week, take 5 minutes to audit your digital habits:

1. Scroll your recent feed — what themes keep showing up?
   
   
2. Follow 2 accounts that lift your spirit.
   
   
3. Unfollow or silence 3 that drain your peace.
   
   
4. Share one verse or thought that points to Jesus.
   
   

Then pause and pray:

“Lord, make my feed a space of light, not noise. Help me reflect You with every tap.”

 You Are Always Being Formed

Whether we realise it or not, our habits are forming us. And in the age of digital noise, discipleship demands intention.

So be wise. Be mindful.
 Let Christ lead your heart — and your scroll.
