Pray instead of worrying.
Pray instead of stressing.
Pray instead of panicking.
Pray instead of overthinking.
Pray instead of assuming.
Pray instead of controlling.
Pray instead of wondering.
In every situation: just Pray.
After Israel crosses the Jordan on dry ground, God tells Joshua to gather twelve stones from the riverbed and build a memorial at Gilgal.
Before they face an enemy, before they throw a party, before the story continues —they are told to stop and remember. A strong memory of God’s faithfulness is better than a strong army.
A quick prayer for your thoughts: God, You have given me the power and
authority to take captive wrong thoughts and to replace them with
right thoughts. Today, help me choose to exercise that power and
cast down anything that the devil puts in my head. In Jesus' name, Amen.
