Thank You, God, for making my mind in such a way that( with Your help)
I can control my thoughts and force them to line up with what You say is true! Thank You for making my brain able to heal and rewire broken, hurting pathways that have been overrun with negative, untrue statements for far too long. Jesus, You prayed for me in John 17:17,“ Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” Your Word renews my mind. Thank you for inviting me to go from ruminating to meditating, from stuck to free. I lift my eyes, my thoughts, and my thanks to You! Amen.
