Our minds truly are the battlefield. Amen! Often we harm our own lives simply through our mindsets. We fixate on thoughts we know aren’t true. We overthink situations instead of letting things go, and suddenly we’re in a mess—all because of how we think.

We imprison ourselves, and even impact our families, by dwelling on negativity—expecting the worst, seeing the bad side of everything, and confining ourselves at home, at work, and in our daily lives.

I don’t know what you’ve been through, nor the battles you’re facing—whether fear of the unknown or the anxiety and stress of “what ifs.” But (Romans 12:2) urges us to “renew our minds” so that we truly live joyfully. They say our minds are like gardens—they can be filled with beautiful flowers or overrun with weeds. And cleaning up a weedy garden is ugly and painful work. If the enemy is stirring up bad thoughts, causing us to overanalyze, or condemning us for everything we do, I pray you shake that off.

Don’t let those thoughts settle in your mind, invade your heart, and manifest in your actions. (Proverbs 23:7) tells us, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Amen! We often lose before we even start, simply because our minds have defeated us. We only get one life—why spend it battling constantly? Amen! God created our world beautifully for us to enjoy. It’s ours for the taking, but if we cling to old mindsets—fear of the unknown and “what ifs”—we’ll never live fully, nor reach our potential in Jesus.

So be free in this life! Don’t shackle yourself with “stinkin’ thinkin’.” Let it go, let God be glorified in you, and live free. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
