Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts.
We like to see smiling faces but we all know negative, anxious thoughts bring us down so if we feel down at some point maybe we could stop and ask ourselves what we've been thinking about.
Track it back to where it started and bring those thoughts to the Lord and ask Him to turn them around to think His thoughts which will lift us back up and put a smile back on our faces.
I know when we're not well it makes us feel down because we're tempted to think it might never change but God says Jesus is our Healer, the Restorer of our souls and He promised to satisfy us with long life.
We get to choose to think on God's promises rather than the present facts which are temporary and subject to change. God's word is permanent and never changes thankfully.
Whose thoughts are we listening to? Listening to God's thoughts will sometimes mean us retraining our minds which the Holy Spirit is involved in, so we can succeed, but we get the casting vote who we listen to.
God's thoughts will always bring peace, they'll bring His presence on the scene which will lift us up. So if we don't have much peace at the minute let's spend some time with the Lord, with His word, and let Him help us change the way we've been thinking.
Let go of the anxious thoughts and start expecting and believing for good things again and let Him put a smile back on our faces today.😊
