Our mind has a lot to answer for doesn’t, as it is responsible for what we think about every aspect of our lives. For some people it can also be their worst enemy, as it can direct us to dwell on specific situations or events, which subsequently mean we end up focusing on negative, or perceived negative aspects of our lives.
Our mind is connected to every thought, and every feeling we have, and every action we take.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)
We all worry and get anxious about things we need to do, or events or situations we need to deal with. But we shouldn’t let our minds focus on this negative things, because even in our darkest moments, we should remind ourselves that God loves us, and will take care of our future. He will give us the strength we need to cope will all that comes our way.
It’s down to us to keep our minds focused on God, instead of dwelling on the negative aspects of our lives.
I therefore pray today that we will always seek God’s help to stop our minds focusing on negative thoughts about ourselves and others, so that we may experience real happiness.
