Phil. 4: 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near do not be anxious about
anything, but in prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to
God. And the peace of God which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I believe we spend too much of our time thinking about our
problems, trying to solve them on our own, and dwelling on the future and what
could happen. Could that be a form of idolatry?
I believe it is.
Worry distracts us from dwelling on God.
Our brain reacts and works how we train it. So if we worry and practice negative thinking
we train our brains to respond in that way first. Today start training your brain to think of
good thoughts, positive God honoring thoughts.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you heal your brain and train you to think
of God and praise him rather than worry.
Eventually you will begin training your brain to be positive and your
first response to something might be, “I can’t wait to see how God is going to
solve this” or “I wonder how God is going to use this for my good – I trust you
God.”
I am working on this “brain training” myself. It is not easy, but I am getting better at it
every day.
Please pray with me
– Dear Abba Father thanks for having the ultimate control of our life and for
being our daddy who wants what is good for us. Forgive us when we worry. Help
us to guard our hearts and our minds. Please help us to practice only dwelling
on you, your goodness, holiness and loving presence. Amen.
