“Guarding Our Thoughts (Mind)”

 

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”

 

-Philippians 2:5-

 

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  The things we think in our hearts, that is who we could become (Proverbs 23:7), whether we think about holy things or unholy things. We ask you to help us to guard our thoughts, Lord, because we struggle daily with unholy thoughts that are not pleasing to you. We often, allow our eyes to watch (on television, internet, ect..) and listen to unholy things, which causes our thoughts to travel to harmful places that Satan has set up for us to fail, and to be out of your will.  We know if we feed our minds junk food (unholy things), then we are feeding our flesh.  But if we feed our minds healthy food, it will bring goodness to our spirit.  We realize, that we have to do our part, in what we feed (place) into our minds, and the choices we make can have an effect on us.  We know that we cannot be conformed to the things of this world, but we have to daily be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we will prove what is good, acceptable, and your perfect will.  We will gird (protect and be prepared) up the loins of our mind, and protect our thoughts from allowing unholy things to invade it.  We will think on things that are honest, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report.  Lord, the thoughts that you think towards us are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, but to give us an expected end.  Help us to guard our thoughts from evil thinking, so we can glorify you!
