I was flipping throug and read some more of the Battlefield of the Mind Devotional by Joyce Meyer. It's been a few months since I worked with it. As usual, my inspiration must have come from God because I read what I needed to hear. The few passages were regarding worry and anxiety. After the past few days, they were a welcome read. Her words brought some comfort as she quoted scripture, interpreted it with advice to apply it to life, and illustrated their use with past experiences of her own and others.
"Where the mind goes, the man will follow. Keep your mind going in the right direction and your life will catch up with it. A person who has their faith firmly planted in God cannot be defeated."
"For the mind to aid the spirit, we must learn to pull back from all the distractions around us."
"We must learn to say, "Lord, I believe. I don't understand, and I could probably never grasp all the reasons why bad things happen, but I can know for certain that You love me and You are with me - always."
"Even after you've been battered and tempted, God doesn't leave you. He remains with you to comfort you, to minister to your needs, and to encourage you. never forget that He is as close to you as the mention of His name."
"Unbelief will keep us from doing what God has called us and anointed us to accomplish in life. It will also hinder us from experiencing the sense of peace He wants us to enjoy as we find rest for our souls in Him."
"It is the privilege of every believer to refuse to worry or have anxiety."
"God treats us as though we are not, and have never been, sinners."
"The devil never passes up the opportunity to remind us of our failures."
"All of us have had times when we wondered if we'd make it. But we did. So will you."
