MEDITATE ON THE THINGS OF GOD   by Joyce Meyer

If you don’t want to be devastated by discouragement, then don’t meditate on your disappointments.

Did you know that your feelings are hooked up to your thinking?  If you don’t think that is true, just take about twenty minutes or so and think about nothing but your problems.   I can assure that by the end of that time your feelings and maybe even your countenance will have changed.

When you get disappointed, don’t sit around and feel sorry for yourself.  As bad as things may seem, we still have a choice.  We can choose to fellowship with the problems or fellowship with God.

We can allow our thoughts to dwell on the bad things until we become totally discouraged and devastated, or we can focus our attention on all the good things that have happened to us in our life–and on all the blessings that God still has in store for us in the days ahead.

Christ Jesus.”    Philippians 4:6-7
“Our thoughts are silent words that only we and the Lord hear, but those words affect our inner man, our health, our joy, and our attitude
