Thoughts

I have been thinking ever since the Question and Answer time last night with Pastor Gardner about all that I think about. It is for me to just let my thoughts and feeling rule me instead of ruling over them. I know that God has given me power over them and I have the ability to control my mind and subject it completely to the Spirit but I do this a lot less than I should.

Last night Pastor was answering a question on how to deal with depression. He took us to Philippians 4:4-8 and went on to explain the verses to us. Basically the process is to rejoice in the Lord, then talk to God about it, then thank God for it, and then finally to think on what is good, true, just, godly, of good report and so forth. I know how little I do this in my own life.

I have decided that I am going to slowly teach myself to rule over what I think about and allow to affect me. Whether it be finances or any other dart Satan might through at me. I am going to raise my shield of faith and live.

I am so thankful that God has given to us the solution to those things that can tear us down. I know that I allow Satan to fool me way to much in what to think about which leads to me not trusting God like I should and just moving forward in my life and closer to God.
