Have you ever been in a real dark place mentally or spiritually? Have you ever had to battle thoughts so hard that you weren't sure if you would live? I am convinced that we need to be intense and intentional about guarding our hearts and our minds. When the challenges of life come, we have got to feed our minds and our hearts with good food. We have to work out our minds and our spirits by "...demolishing arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. We must take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5.
Here are a few suggestions how to do guard our hearts and minds:
1. Listen to Podcasts/messages on line
2. Memorize scripture
3. State over and over sentences like, "To know His love that surpasses knowledge," "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind," "If you hold to my teaching you will know the truth and then the truth will set you free," "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about these things."
