The Battle


     The greatest spiritual battle may be the one within our own mind. Satan loves to deceive us with worry, doubt, fear and false guilt. The world around us says we need to look different, strive harder, to compare and compete. God’s will for you is to believe you are precious in His sight. You have what it takes to live a life filled with joy and peace.

     Do not listen to the world. Listen to the Word. It is filled with promise and hope. It is filled with love and purpose. Transform your mind.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

     God’s will for our lives is good, pleasing and perfect. It fits us. It is made for us, each life unique and well-loved. Fill your mind with God’s hope and love and allow His will to work. Renew your mind in Jesus.

Lord,

We work so hard to fit in, to be heard, to make money, to look better, to achieve more. Lead us into Your will. It may not look like the rest of the world, but we want to serve You. Guide us into renewing our minds in order to find Your perfect, pleasing and good will.

Amen
