Today's Reading:
Jeremiah 26; Romans 16

Weekly Theme: Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, But With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God; and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could protect your heart and your mind from hostile influences like bitterness, frustration and anxiety? Now you can! And it won’t cost you $14.99 plus shipping and handling. No it’s free. What you must do is make a decision to replace your anxiety with thankfulness. Thankfulness is the guard at the door of your heart and mind. It will stop every thought that tries to enter with a “who goes there.” If it is an anxious thought or if it is bitter or angry or frustrated, thankfulness will interrogate the thought until it is changed. No thought may be allowed to enter until it can see things from an Eternal Perspective – everything works together for the good, and from God’s perspective – God is the blessed controller of all things. Thank God! Really!

Dear Father, blessed controller of all things, please protect my heart and mind from the hostile influences that are all around me. I choose this day to replace my anxiety, bitterness, frustration & anger with thankfulness. I want to have my thoughts transformed so that I can see things from an eternal perspective. Even though I can’t see it now, I know that all things work together for good. And I want to see things from Your perspective, I believe that you are the Sovereign God who is in complete control. I trust you. And I choose to be thankful.
