Why Your Life Sucks and How to Fix It
Do you feel stuck in life? Do you feel that nothing is working out for you? Does everyone else seem to be doing so much better than you? Have you tried different approaches but nothing seems to be working? Have you prayed and fasted and fasted and cried but nothing is changing in your life? Are you at your wits end and really simply just want to be happy? Do you really want all things to work together for your good? I, bet, you want your life to be great and not suck, right?
Let me tell you why your life sucks. Ouch! That sounds kind of harsh, doesn’t it? I mean you’re a bible believing, tongue speaking Christian, so what’s the problem? The problem is that you have the wrong mindset! You think the wrong thoughts!
As a man thinks in his heart so is he! Proverbs 23:7
You are what you think
What you think is what informs your choices, actions and speech. You can’t think the wrong thoughts and have a great life. Your life is simply a mirror of your thoughts.
What are you thinking?
What are the thoughts going through your mind? Are your thoughts in line with the word of God or are they based on the flesh?
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2, NKJV
It is time to change your thoughts!
The first step to straightening up your life is to recognise the importance of your thought life. You need to change your thoughts by replacing them with positive and godly ones. The way to control your actions or reactions lies in controlling your thoughts. Filter what stays in your mind and allow only the positive and godly thoughts to stay.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8
You can change your life and your situation by changing your thought pattern.
You need to take back all the territories in your mind that the devil as taken by focusing on thinking positive and godly thoughts. The battle is won first in your mind. The battle rages in your mind and so you must bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
How to renew your mind
Focus on the word of God and meditate on it. You can change your thoughts by asking God for help in prayer. Meditate on His word – that is read the word, say it over and over again and think on it until it becomes part of you.
The strongholds in your mind can be overcome by the word of God. You have already been set free by Jesus and so meditate on His goodness. Fill your thoughts with positive and godly things.
What are you thinking? How can you change what you are thinking?
