Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLV

We thank God for renewed mind and spirit today. Jesus can bring a fresh wind in our hearts and minds that give us a renewed sense of purpose and the energy to move in His direction. It comes with a refreshed mind and eyes that can see with a grateful heart of His goodness, His grace and His mercy. We are so thankful that God is our Heavenly Father that can turn our difficult situations into opportunities to grow and to expand and to become the individuals that He is calling us to be. We may be going through a situation that seems long and arduous but there is an end that will come. The hurt will soften and heal, the answer will become clear and God will provide the grace and mercy for you to be able to move forward. We thank God for being the source of renewal and revival in our lives.

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 NLV

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

Our thoughts and our words influence our faith. Our emotions which can bring about depression, anxiety and worry, often don’t convey what we know about God. Our circumstance during good times and challenges are always an opportunity to trust Him. We can put our trust in the truth about God. – He will provide for my needs. He is a refuge and a safe place in the time of storm. God loves me and has never failed me. We can align our thoughts, our concentration and the meditations of our heart on what we know about our Heavenly Father. These truths we can repeat over and over again as mantras in our hearts. We can trust Him with our circumstance today and tomorrow. We can have faith concerning the big and small details of our lives. Jesus is working everything out for my good. We can choose to think on His goodness and His unfailing faithfulness to us. He is good and His mercy is everlasting.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.  Psalm 19:14
