My Awakened Mind Finding Grace & Freedom From Spiritual Striving Most people do not realize when obedience quietly turns into identity. At first, effort feels righteous. Discipline feels safe. Vigilance feels wise. You tell yourself you are being serious, careful, faithful. But over time the mind begins scanning instead of resting. The soul keeps pushing even when it is already tired. And the Christian life becomes something you try to sustain, rather than something you receive. My Awakened Mind walks the reader through that slow shift, from the pressure of law to the edge where human effort runs out. Not to accuse, not to shame, but to expose what the law was always meant to expose. Then grace interrupts, not as an idea, but as life. The Father corrects without condemning. The Son lifts what you were never meant to carry. The Spirit guides without pressure, teaching you how to live clear, steady, and awake. This book is for the reader who is tired of spiritual noise, tired of performing, tired of living with a scanning mind, yet still hungry for what is real. It is for anyone who wants discernment without fear, engagement without hardening, and a faith that rests because it is finally held. Not louder. Just clearer. Anthony Lanzini
