When Curiosity Turns Into Control

For me, this started long before 2020—but that year was the breaking point.
The more I read, the deeper I dug, and the more I tried to piece together what was really happening in the world, the more anxious and sick I became.

I’ve battled multiple autoimmune issues and Epstein-Barr Virus for years, and stress has always been my biggest trigger. But the constant fear of what might happen sent my nervous system into full overload.

And if I’m honest? It wasn’t just curiosity; it was a stress response.

When you’ve lived in fight-or-flight for years, your body learns to expect chaos. You start grasping for control because it feels safer than surrendering. After all the trauma my girls and I had been through, I couldn’t bear the thought of more pain. So I researched, I scrolled, and I obsessed, hoping and praying more knowledge would give me more control.

But all it gave me was exhaustion… and fear.

Standing in the Aisle, Crying

I’ll never forget standing in the grocery store during the pandemic, looking at the empty shelves and realizing how powerless I actually was. I was a single mom with no job, little money, and two daughters depending on me.

In that moment, fear completely took over. I was convinced I’d need to learn how to hunt, grow my own food, and survive on my own.

And that was the problem; I was relying on myself to provide instead of trusting God to provide.

The truth is, when fear is leading, faith isn’t.

What the Bible Says About Knowledge

The Bible never says knowledge is bad. Proverbs 1:7 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

Real knowledge begins with awe and reverence for God—not endless scrolling through YouTube videos or blogs trying to uncover hidden truths.

But 1 Corinthians 8:1 warns us, “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”

The pursuit of knowledge without love or humility can lead to pride, fear, and confusion. We start thinking we can protect ourselves by knowing everything—but peace doesn’t come from knowing. It comes from trusting.

Eve, the Tree of Knowledge, and the Enemy’s Trap

It’s not new. This same struggle started all the way back in the garden.

In Genesis 3, the serpent planted doubt in Eve’s mind with one question: “Did God really say…?”

And just like that, curiosity led her away from God’s peace and into chaos.

God literally told Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. All we need to know is this: evil exists in the world, but Jesus already defeated it when He died on the cross. As believers, we have authority through Christ to walk in victory—but part of that authority is learning what not to touch.

When Knowledge Becomes an Open Door

So many Christians I know would never allow certain movies, music, or media in their homes. But those same believers have no problem diving deep into conspiracy theories—and it opens doors all the same.

Here’s the thing: yes, some people are called to see more, to know more, to intercede and stand in the gap. But unless God is the one leading you down that path, it’s best not to take it.

The more we dig into darkness, the more we expose ourselves to it.

That’s why it’s so important to cover yourself with the Blood of Jesus. If you’ve been exposed to heavy topics or darkness online, take time to repent and close those doors. Bind any unholy spirits assigned to you or your family and ask the Lord to cleanse your mind and renew your peace.

That’s where freedom begins—by turning away from fear and turning your eyes back toward Jesus.

Discerning God’s Voice from the Enemy’s

1 John 4:1 tells us, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”

If what you’re consuming stirs fear, doubt, confusion, or panic, it’s not from God.
God’s voice always aligns with Scripture. His direction brings peace, not anxiety. His revelation draws you closer to Him, not deeper into chaos.

If you want discernment, start by spending time in His Word—not the world’s words.

What We’re Actually Called To

Micah 6:8 sums it up perfectly: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Philippians 4:8 tells us exactly where to fix our thoughts: “Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable… think about such things.”

And Matthew 6:34 reminds us: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”

That’s your daily dose of Biblical encouragement—stay humble, stay focused, and stay rooted in peace.

A Moment of Reflection

This is what I need you to hear: sometimes your need to “know everything” isn’t about curiosity—it’s about fear and control. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you. But God isn’t asking you to control the outcome. He’s asking you to trust Him with it.

Ask yourself:

1. Is what I’m consuming producing peace or anxiety?
2. Am I spending more time in God’s Word or in the world’s theories?
3. Where do I need to surrender control back to Him?

Final Encouragement

Friend, knowledge may inform you, but only faith will transform you.
You don’t need to know everything happening in the world to be prepared—you just need to know the One who holds the world in His hands.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. That’s where peace—and true wisdom—will always be found.
