Renewing your Mind and Spirit

sunset, freedom, prayer faith Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

I’ve been struggling with negative thoughts lately, and I know the only way to combat the ugliness is to fill my mind with God’s thoughts. It’s not easy, but the alternative will never bring about desired change. In fact, renewing my spirit begins with renewing my minds. The bible says in Romans 12:2, the way to transformation is through the renewing of our minds. “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Transformation is not a one time event. It’s a process. I remember when I used to sit in church and pray that God would just “zap” me and make me the person I really wanted to be. I don’t except to be miraculous transformed at once like anymore, instead I pray for God to show me the next step in my transformation.

Lord, you know my heart and my mind which many times work against each other. Help me to run to Your word first, instead of listening to thoughts or people that might not have my best interest in mind. Search my heart and soul, and may they be pleasing in your sight!

Amen.

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
