Day 22

The worst battle is between what we know is the truth from the Word of God & what we feel..!
In other words the battle is between our soul mind – our five senses and our spirit mind..
The reason it’s so intense is that your greatest asset is your mind & satan wants to get inside it with lies & temptations to get you from committing to what is truth – GOD’s truth..!!
But God has given us the power to take control of our thoughts. When overthinking becomes an obstacle to our relationship with Him, it’s time to capture those thoughts!..
When we’re faced with worry, anxiety, and overthinking, we need the power of God’s Word and His promises to us as His beloved sons & daughters to give us a settled assurance..
Worry and anxiety are not heavenly things. When you’re tempted to fall into the cycle of overthinking, direct your thoughts to God’s ways instead..
Is worry right, lovely, or admirable? Is our overthinking worthy of praise? No! So, when overthinking strikes, let’s be ready to direct our thoughts towards more “excellent” things..
What’s more lovely to think about than Jesus, our Savior and Champion? Choose to dwell on His love and faithfulness instead of yesterday’s worries..
We cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ..
God’s Word has the power to overcome our weaknesses!..
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life..
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.….”(Philippians 4:8‬)
