What are you thinking about?
Our thoughts can contribute to whether we feel peace or anxiety. Of course, we all want to feel more peace and less anxiety, and that’s why we must be careful with what we think. Evaluate what you think about yourself or about a situation you are going through, and pay attention to your emotions. Do you feel peace, or do you feel frustration?
In Philippians 4:8 we find a great list to evaluate and filter our thoughts. By following this biblical advice, we will learn to reject anxiety and live with more peace, joy, and better health.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
- Philippians 4:8
When you notice that your thoughts are causing anxiety, fear, or some other emotion that robs your peace, examine them. Ask yourself:
- Is this a true thought, or have I let my imagination deceive me?
- Is it honorable, decent? Is it a thought that pleases God?
- Is it just or unjust? Am I justified in thinking this, or have I let my emotions mislead me?
Keep going, analyze your thoughts based on what this verse says, and ask God to take control of them. If your thoughts are aligned with God, they will bring you peace and help you reflect the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Live always grateful
Gratitude is pleasing to the Lord! Recognizing the gifts we receive in our lives is a quality of those who have already perceived the goodness and love of God. And this understanding is expressed through worship and praise. These are good habits that foster fellowship and intimacy with Christ:
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are him;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
- Psalm 100:1-3
There are many ways we can show our gratitude to God. We can speak with Him in prayer. We can sing praises filled with thanksgiving. We can live each day by obeying His Word and bearing witness to His power. These are some of the ways in which we can express our gratitude to God.
Take time to meditate on God’s goodness in your life and give thanks to the Lord for all the blessings you have received. They may be things we often take for granted, such as breathing or having clothes to wear. They may be more surprising things, such as the healing of an illness or His provision at just the right time.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Develop a heart full of gratitude. Thank the Lord for what He has done in your life and for allowing you to see this day.
Have an excellent day!
