Day Nine
Confidence for Your Mind
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things
My mind is a vortex; my confidence a downward spiral. When did the switch throw from believing I could do all things through Christ to believing failure was imminent? I yearn for the thrilling days when I advanced in faith without consideration of setback.
Fearful one, come declare confidence for your mind.
Today I Pray for You:
· To remove the cloak of doubt which veils your thoughts, so your mind is clear to focus on Christ
· To experience an explosion of faith based on God’s goodness not your competence
Today You Pray:
My Cornerstone, I build my thoughts on You. Layer my mind with bricks of Your grace. Hold my brain together with the mortar of Your love.
In these moments of quiet, I recount Your goodness. You never fail me and You won’t start now. Fixed on You, my mind is secure once more.
I needed that verse today! Thaks for reminding me that I am just wastin' my time worrying about stuff that is so momentary!:)
ReplyDeleteOh Kelli, so true. I get caught up in temporary...when He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
ReplyDeleteI need confidence for my mind! I love that verse and covet these prayers :) Confidence is the word the Lord has been breathing into my insecure heart lately. I'm going to have to go back and read 1-6 since I've missed those! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDoubts and fears of failure have been haunting me for years. And even now as I am on the brink of embarking on a major step in my life, it is trying to creep in and take over. I needed to read this today. Like Heidi, I will need to refresh my mind from the beginning of this series. Thank you Shannon!

ReplyDeleteHI Shannon~I'm starting to think the Lord has you writing this Prayer blog just for me! Not really...but it does seem that most everything you have written I so desperately need at this time.

Hold my brain together with the mortar of Your love.
Thank you for sharing His thoughts through you!!

Love that verse, but I always find myself worrying bout earthy things, but God always pulls me through & then I find out I worried for nothing. I always pray to God that I know I'm not suppose to worry, but it's a mother thing :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Members to Remember.

ReplyDeleteLaura, so true. Children are birthed with worries it seems. Isn't it cool that we don't bear those burdens alone?
