Day 7-Know my mind

Postby Krystal » Wed Apr 14, 2010 8:54 pm

I am supposed to reject all of the lies and bad thoughts that come into my mind throughout the day.
This is going to be a challenge.
I tell myself lies alot, sometimes i catch myself and sometimes i don't
sometimes i pretend not to notice and choose to believe it anyways

I am excited to rid my mind of these negetive thoughts and i pray that it will give me a better outlook on life and a better outlook on myself

I constantly critisise myself with lies and mean comments. I want to stop this.

Lord, I need your help in realizing the truth and rejecting the lies from my life. I know they are lies but I choose to believe them anways.
Please help me control my thoughts and may this step help me love myself more

Hey krystal your doing well. :) Something that might help you to identify the lies is to take some time each day to reflect on what you have allowed to be planted in your mind and to figure out if the planted thoughts are truth or lies. Lies are usually negative and hurtful in nature...so if it's not a thought that's helping you..it's best to dismiss it.

Just remember thoughts often become real to us...so controlling your thoughts will help you control you walk in life and in growing closer to Jesus.

luv ya
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

Hello krystal,

Oh yes a challenge indeed, but the more we practice the better we get at it.

I think the important part right now is that you are realizing the negatives that are bogging down your thought patterns. That is the beginning, soon it wil become second nature, natural if u will.

It is unnatural to criticise and tell ourselves mean things being that we are created in His image and God is love, and so we inhibit this love inside of us because He is a part of us... so all the negativityis there to keep us away from knowing how God sees us.

God wants you to see yourself as the beauty He sees you as! You are precious to Him and He made you perfect in His eyes, unique and just plain YOU!

So go on and let God love on you, let Him show you just how much He loves you. Treat yourself to the Truth and lavish in the beauty He has made you to be.


You ask you shall recieve! The Holy Spirit will remind you when you begin these thought patterns and then it is up to you to discard them and replace them with Truth.

Find some scriptures that speak to you heart, that are personal to you and have an overlfowing of abounding love in them and place them around your heart, memorize them and when ever a negative thoughts enters your mind replace with the love note from God.

God bless you on this journey!
