“I can’t do this!”
“This is not real!”
“I’m a failure!”
“God doesn’t like me!”
The list could go on and on. Everyone has mind games. These are those nagging thoughts that you just can’t get out of your head.
“They sound so real and convincing! They must be true!”
Actually it is quite the opposite. Most of the thoughts we think throughout our day are just “stinking thinking.” The Bible has a lot to say about these thoughts and what we are suppose to do with them.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) “Above all else, guard your heart (mind), for it is the wellspring of life.”
The Bible infers that our thoughts determine our actions. So we have to pay attention to what we are thinking about.
“How do I know what’s true?”
You compare your thoughts with what God says about you in the Bible. The Bible is complete truth, therefore, if what you are thinking contradicts what the Bible says, you have to ignore your thinking and embrace what the Bible says. You must reject the “stinking thinking” and replace it with the Word of God. It is hard to do at first, but the more you do it, the easier it gets!
Prayer:
“God help me to get rid of anything thinking that is not of you. I will believe only what you say about me in the Bible. Help me to guard my mind!”
