"Sometimes we focus too much on our problems. Think about something you can be thankful for and adjust your focus! Focus on God! " In the book of Philipians Paul writing from prison speaks exactly about the above message. God has been helping me in this area as well and i give thanks to God for Gods message. In Philipians 4v8 the word says ( amplified version) "whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things( fix your minds on them)" Whenever we focus on our problems we've taken our eyes off God and that is when the devil can have his way with our thoughts and basically have a field day. The word also tells us to to take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ. Basically dispel that thought with the truth that is in Christ. Whatever the problem may be, doubt may be...whatever the situation, turn your eyes upon Jesus and the things of this world will grow dim. I am myself learning to put that word into practice and i can assure you that it DOES work. Satan is defeated in the battlefield of the mind . Praise be to God for Gods awesome Word!
