Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV) …fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable…excellent and worthy of praise.
Do you want to live in the perpetual peace of God? Then take control of your thoughts. Fix your thoughts on what is true…and the God of peace will be with you (vs 9). Reorient your thoughts toward praise and gratitude rather than complaint. Don’t dwell on the little whispers of the enemy that incite fear and anxiety. Recognize who plants those thoughts in your head. Intentionally replace them with the truth of scripture. Meditate on all the ways God has come through for you in the past. Dwell on the goodness of God. Think about all the ways He has provided for you with blessings, protection, grace, and joy in spite of the difficulties of this year. Put on the praise music, and begin to worship and feel the tension released. God wants to ground you in a wholeness that is sourced in His Spirit of life. Dwell on the goodness of God and His peace will be with you.
