AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI

 SCRIPTURE:

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” – Corinthians 10:5

The Battle for Your Mind – Renewing Your Thoughts in Christ

Reflection:
We explored how the battlefield for our lives lies within our minds. But how do we truly overcome negative thought patterns and anxieties? As humans, you are bound to exercise negative thoughts, but you can silence negative thoughts, and gradually come out, each time you slip into it. One of the reasons we think negatively is due to fear of the unknown. Fear about what life holds, and fear of death. But if you believe in what life holds for a believer, or someone in close alliance with God, your fear will reduce. God loves you and will do everything to make you happy. Constantly bear that fact in mind; Never entertain fear, for fear will whittle down the spirit that manifests good things.

What Next?
Engage in activities that renew your mind. Worship music, memorizing scriptures, and spending time in nature can all be powerful tools. Practice cognitive reframing, challenging negative thoughts with truth from God’s word.

Powerful Prayer Point:
“Lord, transform my thinking. Help me identify and replace negative thoughts with Your truth. Fill my mind with Your peace and empower me to overcome anxiety. Amen.”

Additional Verses:

• Isaiah 26:3 – “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you.”
• Romans 8:6 – “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.”
