Fix Your Thoughts and Free Your Mind
(Inspired by Worry to Worship devotional written by Lakeisha Maldon)
The enemy takes great joy in having us so entangled with the cares of everyday life that our minds are constantly in overdrive. We can run miles in minutes and can’t really give focus and attention on the things that matter. As a result, our prayer life is disturbed, we are not present in important conversations, our sleep is interrupted with To Do’s, What-Ifs, Next Steps, etc. And Guess What (as my granddaughter often says)? This stuff we carry and swirl around in our heads creates a wedge between us and God. It causes us to miss out on family and we never really solve the problems that take up so much head space—they just grow.
The Bible clearly admonishes, “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
Philippians 4:8 NLT
I know it’s sometimes easier said than done but let’s commit today to changing our mindset. Find and commit to memory a couple of scriptures to redirect your focus when those ANTS (annoying negative thoughts) bombard your mind. I promise you’ll lose pounds of worry, stress and anxiety and be well on your way to maintaining a healthier you—spiritually, emotionally and physically!
Pause…Pray…Reflect.
Love You All to Life!
