Oh Lord, you are holy and just and good. Everything comes from you and is under your power.
But I know negative thoughts are not from you – fear and confusion are not of your Spirit.
Know me Lord and search my thoughts. See my anxieties and make them clear to me.
Help me let go of doubt, hate, anger, judgement, pride, condemnation, resentment, distrust, jealousy, and whatever else is holding too much room in my heart.
Allow me to banish the thoughts that lead to sin and cling to the thoughts that allow for obedience to your Word.
Remind me of the lovely things. Guide me while I think about what I’m thinking about.
Center my thoughts on you. Your goodness. Your justice. Your mercy. Your love.
Move me to act on the good thoughts and not to dwell on the negative perceptions.
If we become what we behold, I want to see you. I want to have holy, God-focused thoughts that exalt you.
Teach me to guard my heart so that my thoughts and actions are a pleasing overflow of what is living deep inside of me.
Redirect me today when I feel tempted to sit in bad thinking. Show me the good, show me the lovely.
