Do you find, as I often do, that Monday mornings tend to leave me feeling like I need an extra dose of God’s peace and reassurance? There are fresh to-do lists to tackle, including ones that didn’t get completed last week, and it’s a challenge to figure out how to accomplish it all in the week in front of me.

 

I often rely on these verses from Philippians 4, especially in The Message version of the Bible, and the thought of “shaping” our worries into prayers, even into praise! When you think about it, we have a choice to make, not only on Monday, but every day.

 

Do we trust the Lord that everything will come together for good? Do we allow ourselves to feel His peace settle down on us, or are we determined to hold onto our worries and to fret?

 

Our Heavenly Father wants to replace the worry in our life with the peace that only He can bring.

 

Are you up for choosing to let Him take over and shape your worries into prayer and praise?

How much of your thought life is spent on your worries?

 

Chances are that worry is a beast that you’ve been battling for years. When you reflect on it, it’s usually apparent that worrying is basically a losing battle. 

 

An important aspect of my coaching practice is working with clients on their thought processing. We work on “re-framing”, learning to think differently. The idea is to replace hurtful, self-defeating behavior for that which is positive.

 

The picture and verse that I selected for this post speak directly to the path for productive and positive thinking that can remove worrying from its dominant position in your thoughts.

 

As you become focused on redirecting your thought life to Christ, you will experience a transformation and renewal of your mind that will allow your worries to fade and to be replaced with His peace. (Romans 12:2) 

 

You may need to check your Bible for more detail on God’s perspective for that thought.  

 

Not only do you take your negative thoughts captive, but you take your mind and heart captive, too.  In order to know His perspective and the truth, you need to rely on the mind of Christ at work in you.

 

Are you ready to re-frame?
