Have you ever taken the time to truly listen to your thoughts? It is estimated that human beings average having over 60,000 thoughts a day.
I don’t know about you, but my mind is like a bad neighborhood; I shouldn’t go there alone. Thus the reason I begin my day in a quiet state connecting to God and asking for His protection and guidance over my life which includes the thoughts I think.
Be conscious of what you are thinking because if you leave your thoughts unchecked they will rob you of your peace…I write from experience.
Colossians 3:15, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
