You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
Worries, anger, fear, doubt... the list of distractions goes on and on. Our minds can so quickly be enveloped in things other than God. With a brief thought, we can so quickly be consumed by worry and before we know it, minutes or even hours have passed leaving us unsettled and ever so afraid of the future and its uncertainty.
However, this verse reminds us that we need to stay focused on God. Reciting scripture, rebuking negative thoughts, and remembering the faithfulness of God in our past are all ways to remain steadfast. Remaining in a constant prayer dialogue with our Father assures us that our spirit will remain in perfect peace.
As you go through your day today, train your mind to remain focused on the Lord. Be aware of distractions and quickly hand them over to the Lord for they are his battle not yours!
Dear Lord, I give you this day and ask for your help in training my mind to remain focused on you. Keep me in constant relationship with you through prayer and scripture. Amen
