Heavenly Father, Beginning from infancy, You gave me a built-in recording system that enables me to remember all the things that I have experienced with my senses. I can’t say exactly where that is but I believe it is either a part of my brain or my sub-conscious mind. Regardless of its location, I know it’s real because I use it a lot and I am discovering that it, on many occasions, has been using me. The impulsive reactions I have to many circumstances are conditioned by the way I have acted and sensually perceived events over many, many years. You have told me to love You with all of my heart, soul, strength and mind, each of which are incredible tools You have blessed me with. However, if I am going to make a one hundred percent commitment to do that, I have to either ignore or erase a lot of bad information that is on that recording system. Now I realize that is why You have instructed me to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, overcoming my conditioned way of thinking and loving You from the depths of my new life in Christ. I am so grateful that You have made me a new creation so that I can be free from my old self with all of its practices. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Colossians 3:9-10 “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.”
