“The Battle For Your Mind”

Place a check mark beside some of these practical things you can focus on in order to refocus your mind when it begins to wander into negative territory:

• Meditate on a Bible verse
• Sing a praise chorus to yourself (or out loud)
• Quote Scripture you have memorized (Hint: ones in this study are excellent to start with.)
  Memorize Isaiah 26:3
  “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”
• Thank God for your blessings
• Pray phrases to God such as: “I give my mind to You, Lord.” “Use my mind for Your glory, God.”
• Pray with God-given authority to resist Satan.
• Keep your mind actively engaged and challenged, not allowing it to just drift.
• Remove temptations that you know will lead you down the wrong paths (inappropriate music, movies, TV, conversations, words, etc.)

If we’re thinking what’s right, we can’t be thinking what’s wrong.
