When You have Trouble in Your Thought Life
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view
of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy
and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able
to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and
perfect will. Romans 12:1,2.
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to

captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corintians
10:5.
You will keep in perfect peace him whose
mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3.
For by the grace given me I say to every

intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Romans
8:7,27.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true,

For God did not give us a spirit of
timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7.
