Russ Johnston points out the importance of recurrent thoughts in God’s communication with his children: We would see wonderful results if we would just deal with the thoughts that continue in our minds in a godly manner. But most people don’t. . . . As thoughts come into your mind and continue, ask God, “Do you really want me (or us) to do this?” Most of us just let those thoughts collapse—and God looks for someone else to stand in the gap.8
