What are you thinking, what are you giving your time to? How much time do you spend thinking on the past? How much time do u spend thinking on your present? How much time do you spend thinking about the future? Are most of your thoughts negative? Are most of your thoughts positive? Are your thoughts true? If so, how do you know? Are your thoughts lies? Who told you they were true? After you think about certain things how do you feel? Does what you think about line up with what God says? What does the Bible say about thoughts? Or what does the Bible say about thoughts specifically?
I ask these questions because I believe thoughts are powerful. Not only are they powerful but they can give life or death to a situation. What you feed can grow. Remember that. It's important that we check our thinking and make sure it's helping us in life and not setting us back. It can be so easy to fall into "stinking thinking." Your negative thoughts in a way are actually waring against God, the way of God. Because you are choosing to entertain it and to believe something false or unproductive. Nothing in God is bad, dark, unproductive, false, dead, tormenting, or harmful. God is good and everything about Him is good. So we should remember to not accept or entertain negative thought patterns which are harmful.
Renewing your mind is a process but it's necessary. We're not perfect but we're capable of getting better. Ask God to help you and be more conscience about what you're thinking.
