2 February 2025: Renewal

Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of negative thinking? There was a season in my life when my thoughts were filled with fear, self-doubt, and discouragement. I wanted to move forward, but my mind kept pulling me back into anxiety and insecurity. I prayed, but nothing seemed to change—until one day, I realized something: I was filling my mind with everything except God’s truth.

Instead of reading His Word, I was consuming messages of fear and comparison. Instead of focusing on His promises, I was dwelling on my failures. So, I made a decision: I started replacing my negative thoughts with Scripture, my fears with worship, and my anxieties with prayer. Slowly but surely, my mindset began to shift. I realized that transformation doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a daily process of renewing our minds in Christ.

God’s renewal is always available to us, but we must be intentional about seeking Him. If you feel weary or weighed down today, take a moment to reflect on what you are filling your mind with. Are you focusing on God’s truth, or are you allowing the world’s negativity to shape your thoughts? Choose today to renew your mind in Him.

Lord, renew my mind and heart daily. Help me to think and live according to Your will. Amen.
