Whatcha thinkin about?

What’s got you wound up? What’s got you worried? What’s got you angry? What’s got you frustrated? What’s got you stressed?

What’s making you rigid? What’s making you dread? What’s making you grouchy? What’s making you anxious? What’s making you nervous?

Your Mind!!!

Sure there are many reasons, situations, and people who cause the above emotions and reactions but what is the fuel that keeps all those going? Our mind, our thoughts…our ability to replay, rewind, replay and rewind all day long!

My quest this year has been to retrain my brain. I have reached a place where I realize I can be grouchy, angry, frustrated, discontent, and like a miser who sits and counts all the offenses in my world. (and sometimes I do)

Or…

I can immediately take them to the cross. We have the Holy Spirit, who is always available to help change our thoughts and moods. We just have to ask! It doesn’t always come easy, this rising above the offense, the not biting back when bitten, turning the cheek, and walking away!

Philippians 4:8 NCV “Brothers and sisters, think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected. Do what you learned and received from me, what I told you, and what you saw me do. And the God who gives peace will be with you.”

Again, it isn’t always easy but it’s always worth it. It’s a simple prayer of asking the Holy Spirit to take away the negative and fill with heavens positive. Ask for peace to reign over hurt, anger or frustration. Ask for joy to fill you from head to toe…then go about your business. The great thing is in a little while you will notice…quiet peace slipped inside and there’s a smile on your heart.

Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
