Good morning people who put the right fuel into your mind.

There is a peace from God that is available to those who partner with God’s intention.

Philippians 4:6-8 NIV Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Firstly, Paul instructs us to pray in every situation rather than be anxious. And he tells us to pray with thanksgiving.

Secondly, Paul says that anxiety remains gone when we actively and intentionally think about “such” things.

What are these “such” things that we should think about in order to keep us free from anxiety?

Well, it’s not found in a lot of the TV and social media that some Christians feed on. Much of our intake induces anxiety, and then we ask God to remove it. Sometimes we need to “change the channel” in our lives if we want to live in the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Here’s Paul’s list of the nature of the things that we should think about:

Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable – anything that is excellent or praiseworthy.

So, how much of your TV viewing and social media perusing are in harmony with this list?

If it is not, what steps are you going to take this week to change this?

God wants us to have peaceful minds, and He loves us enough to make it clear what we should be thinking about.
