Your Life Won't Change Until Your Thinking Changes
I spent a lot of years unhappy because the minute I woke up in the
morning, I started thinking negative, sad, depressing things. Now I can
truly say I am fully satisfied since the Holy Spirit has helped me
operate with the mind of Christ that is within me.
Maybe you've spent years thinking wrong thoughts, but that can change today.
If you struggle with negative thinking, it's important for you to come
to grips with the fact that your life won't change until your thinking
does. Renewed, God-like thinking is vital for change.
The Bible presents a lot of detailed instruction on what kinds of things
we should think about. Philippians 4:8 alone tells us to think about
things that build us up, not tear us down.
I want to issue you a challenge. Instead of waking up in the morning and
immediately thinking negative thoughts, I want you to pick a positive
truth from scripture and focus on it everyday when you wake up. Let
God's Word grow in you and transform your mind. Fix your mind on good
things and enjoy the godly changes it brings.
Prayer Starter: God, I'm ready to change and live with the mind of
Christ. Help me to only think about what is true, honorable, pure,
lovely, kind, gracious, virtuous - whatever is of You.

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brothers and
sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
