Have you gone through a cycle of negative thoughts that kept you low and made you feel ? All you could think was negative, and how this may not happen, and how that may not happen. These thoughts paralysed you in your mind and made you feel incapable of doing anything.
If that’s you, stop! Don’t kill yourself with those thoughts!
How you think is how your life will be, and your life will be shaped by your thoughts.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23
Get up and get ready to change your thought life: from negative thoughts to “God thoughts”.
The Word of God says, “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:6-9
God is inviting each one of us to get aligned with His thoughts. Stop thinking so low about yourself. Stop thinking that you are nothing or good for nothing. God never creates a “good for nothing”.
If you feel you are not good at something, surrender it to God and watch how He will make you good at it. God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness“. 2 Corinthians 12:9
I remember when I was going through certain difficult situations, these negative thoughts would take over my mind. These thoughts imprisoned me and made me think that I do not have a good future.
Your thoughts have the power to limit you and subtly destroy your life if it goes out of control. The enemy uses these moments of uncontrolled negative thoughts even to bring in thoughts of suicide.
It’s about time to change your thoughts to “God thoughts”
Here’s a practical tip to overcome all your negative thoughts- write down every negative thought that has been constantly bothering you. Now cancel those thoughts and ask God for forgiveness for thinking so low about yourself. Then write down the opposite of all the negative thoughts, and find scriptures that align with the Truth.
Example: your thoughts may say, “I am dumb; I am not intelligent like others.”
Pray: Lord, I ask forgiveness for calling myself dumb and comparing. I cancel this negative thought over my life. And I thank You that I am intelligent and brilliant. I have the wisdom of God. I have the mind of Christ. God is in me and with me; therefore, I have wisdom.
Bible verse: “But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16
“With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.“Job 12:13
Example: “I am not lucky. I have bad luck all the time.”
Pray: Lord, I cancel such words over my life. I don’t believe in luck, but I believe that you have blessed me and given me favour above others.
Bible verse: “For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”Psalm 5:12
Example: I never get promoted. My boss doesn’t like me and favors others.
Pray: Lord Jesus, I bless my boss, and I thank You for my promotion doesn’t come from any man but from You, Lord.
Bible verse:
Psalm 75:6-7 says, “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one and setteth up another.”
Example: Whatever I do, doesn’t count. I do something, but it doesn’t stand out from the rest, or it goes in vain.
Bible verse:
“The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 28:8
Pray: I thank You, Lord, that everything I put my hands into will prosper!
