Change the Way You Think Have you ever heard the saying a mind is a terrible thing to waste? Our minds have so much capacity for good, to learn, create, think and grow, and its a tragedy when we dont use them to their highest potential. There was a time in my life when I allowed too many damaging thoughts to enter my mind, negative, tormenting, guilty, unforgiving, shameful and accusing thoughts. The problem was that I had no idea I could control my thoughts or choose which thoughts I focused on and believed in. I didnt realize that if I was thinking something that wasnt true, I had the power to stop. No one ever told me I could win in my mind. Has anyone ever told you? If not, then Im here today to tell you that you dont have to let your thoughts control you. You can choose to think and focus on God-thoughts! Romans 12:2 says to let God transform you, by changing the way you think. God wants to help you win the battle in your mind. But what does that look like on a practical level? Heres what has worked countless times for me and what I know will work for you too: The next time youre wrestling in your mind, I want you to stop and find something specific that you can thank God for. Tell Him how grateful you are for His goodness and all the rich ways Hes blessed your life. As youre diligent to do this, you will see your life begin to change and things will get better and better. Its my hope and prayer that you will know the power God has given you and that every day in your thoughts, you will walk in the fullness of His love for you!
