Thoughts

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

Thoughts are powerful things. Thoughts can propel us forward or keep us trapped. Thoughts can help us be in a positive emotional state or in negative one. God wants us to move forward in the positive. Scripture predates positive psychology. We can start to change things as we focus on the truth from the scripture. We can look at the characteristics of God because He fits all these things. Worship is another tool because many songs combine scripture and the attributes of God.

Lord it is easy to get into a negative thought cycle. To keep my focus on your word, who you are and worship and praise.
