Think About These Things

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.—Philippians 4:8 (NRSV)
When you are struggling to be positive and find yourself complaining, doubting and being just plain difficult, turn to God and ask for the Holy Spirit to help change your mindset. Focus on Christ and the power of His wisdom and joy.

Release Your Worries

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.—Matthew 10:28 (NIV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If you worry, you are a worrier because your mind is saturated with worry thoughts. To counteract these, mark every passage in your Bible that speaks of faith, hope, and courage.” Instead of focusing your energy on your problems, focus on God and His Word.

God of Heaven, sometimes I need help focusing on You and not my fears. Keep my mind fixed on what is good and true—Your Word.
