Thank You for revealing to me the truth about the power of the mind. Your Word gives me clear instructions on how to think, and following them gives me victory over wrong-thinking. Lord, I know that You are greater than the god of this world and that You want me to succeed in life. The world tempts us to think in the natural, but the Scriptures teach us to think supernaturally. When its philosophies have seeped into our minds so much that we feel trapped and in bondage, meditating on the Scriptures brings supernatural renewal to our thoughts. No one can live in the world without being affected by its backward mindsets and ideas. Routinely reading and studying the Bible, which is the only unchanging truth we can count on, leads to a radical transformation of the mind.
Conforming our minds to those philosophies only limits us and holds us back from achieving our true potential. Philosophies that contradict what the Bible says are everywhere, but just because we heard someone say something doesn’t mean it’s true. If we let the world govern the way we think, we can be overwhelmed by wrong-thinking that will drag us down. We become what we believe, so aligning our thoughts to agree with the Word of God keeps our minds safe. We ultimately control which thoughts and ideas we embrace and which ones we reject.

If we think positively, we’re more likely to follow up with actions leading to a positive outcome. Our thoughts are powerful, and they can influence our entire lives.
