Penny For Your Thoughts
It was a huge shock to me when I realized I could choose my thoughts. I had spent most of my life up to that point just letting them do what they wanted and it wasn't good.
My thoughts were negative, full of self-loathing and critical of others. This caused me to live as a cripple because I accepted them as true and lived within their boundary of "you can't do anything."
[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
2 Cor. 10:5 Amplified
That's the long way of saying - think about what you are thinking about and throw away any (and every) thought or reasoning that does not agree with God's word.
It's a lot easier said than done but it can be done.
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
Phil. 4:13 Amplified
We can do anything God asks us to because whatever He asks us to do, He will give us the ability to do.
My life did a complete 180 when I accepted what God had to say about me over what my thoughts had been saying. I went from being depressed and not liking myself to being content and full of peace and joy.
In order to change your thoughts, you will have to know what God says. Reading your Bible is the only way you can get to know God and what He thinks about you. That means you have to spend time reading it and thinking about what it says knowing that it is true and accepting it as fact for your life.
Pay attention to what you are thinking. Compare your thoughts to God's word. Do they match? If not, let go of your thoughts and focus on what God's are.
Believe what God says over what you think.
You can change your life by changing what your thoughts.
