Psalm 16:7 (ERV) – “I praise the Lord because he taught me well. Even at night he put his instructions deep inside my mind.”
Can’t shake a reoccurring thought? No matter what you try to do, the same old musings keep bubbling to the surface. It is as annoying as having a certain song stuck in your head that you keep humming no matter how much you try to ignore it. Our minds are the true battlefields of life’s struggles. We fight not against flesh and blood, but against our own misguided thoughts; against negative stigmas; against principalities and rulers of darkness that keep dropping tidbits of negative seed into our minds.
When our stress levels impinge against our abilities to ward off bad contemplations, we must trust God to lift the ramblings from our consciousness. God delivers us from the snares of our enemies and frees our minds to give us peace. When we keep troublesome thoughts circulating in our heads they can affect our sleeping, eating and socialization. God who neither slumbers nor sleeps is our advocate for renewing our minds.k God and although he knows our thoughts before we think them, tell him what is disturbing you. Present to him the thoughts that are troubling you and watch as God’s mercy and grace give you a new look on life. Cast your cares upon the Lord and be of good courage; be patient and every time a troubling thought seems to want to rear its ugly head, simply call on the name of Jesus and chase it as far as east is from the west. Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-filled day. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
