Think about the words you say to yourself. Do you focus on your fears or what God could do? The thoughts you dwell on, you are meditating on. Worry and doubt do not fix anything. Instead think about God's Word. It brings life into your soul. Worry only strangles the life out of your soul.
Surrender your problems to God and He will fix them. You just have to trust that truth. Pinder on all the good God has done in your life. Why would you doubt that He would still take care of you today? Think abut what God is doing in your life now. This meditation will help you let go of all of your worry.
Do not allow the what ifs into your mind. It only takes you down the rabbit hole of anxiety. Jesus has told us what matters. He has provided the alternative to harmful thoughts. Your job is to capture all your thoughts and control where they go.
Meditate on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, excellent, praiseworthy, and admirable. Do this and you will learn to receive God's truth. Your heart will lie to you, so trust you mind when it is filled with God's Word. Align all your mental talk to what is acceptable to God. He listens to how you talk to yourself, even if it is not spoken out loud.
Visualize God in your mental closet. What would He see? Would he be pleased? Would he be upset? Would He ask you to be allowed to clean up a little? He cares how you talk to yourself. He is invested because He loves you. Allow Him to clean up some, so you can focus on His comfort, relief from anxiety, support, and solace.
What you focus on, meditate on, remanence about is all prayers. Are you praying to God or are you praying to yourself? Are your prayers going to be heard by God or will you sit in your negative thoughts? God's way leads to the truth and will bring delight to your soul.
