Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts

by Jennie Allen

Are we attending to our fear? Or are we attending to the God who promises to be with us? Are we attending to our doubt? Or are we attending to the truth that never changes? Are we attending to our need for control? Or are we attending to God’s plan for us even if chaos breaks into the present reality?

Delight in God and His goodness tears down our walls and allows hope, trust, and worship to flood in.

TRUTH: God is trustworthy and will, in the end, work all things together for good.

I CHOOSE TO DELIGHT IN GOD AND SIGNS OF HIS WORK IN THE WORLD AROUND ME.

But lasting joy will come only when God is in the center; not when I am empowered but when I rest in His power.

this idea that regardless of the wind and the rain and the uncertainty and the fear, when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we travel on top of, not under, those waves. When we shift from the thoughts that distract and choose to fix our thoughts single-mindedly on Him, everything shifts!
