Tame Your Thoughts

Most of us agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions and negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can actually manage our lives by managing our thoughts?Not only does science back up this concept via the study of the brain and "neuroplasticity," but this idea is also embedded in every chapter of of the Bible. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2 ESV). Change your thoughts and change your life!Your enemy has one aim: to entangle you in a web of unhealthy thoughts. He wants to corrupt, contaminate, and confuse your mind with a false system. But God loves you too much to allow you to lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made your brain, so he can retrain your brain. If you are feeling stuck in your head, or hounded by regrets, or weighed down by worry, change is possible. The thoughts that have up to this point characterized your life need not characterize the rest of your life.In the Tame Your Thought Bible Study, you will explore three key thought management tools and learn how to apply them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap you. You will discover what it means to:take your thoughts captive;test each message against the truth of Scripture;interrupt poisonous thought threads before they infect you; andthink and act like Jesus.With God as your helper, you can discover a new way of thinking. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV). A new you can emerge!
