Freedom From AddictionSample

When I was lost in addiction, I was constantly filling my mind with content that promoted the ways of the world, and the ways of the world always led me into more problems and spiritual bondage. It was when I began walking with Jesus that He started showing me that I had to be aware of what I was filling my mind because what I fill my mind with became the lens through which I see and face the world.

When I stopped listening to music that promoted and boasted about wrong living and replaced it with worship music, more of God’s reality began flowing into my life. When I stopped watching movies that portrayed ways of living that were not Godly, my thoughts were filled with more clarity and peace.

When I started filling my mind with God’s word, hope and faith began to rise inside of me.

When we fill our minds with Godly content, a faith-filled perspective strengthens us for the situations we will encounter in life. We should strive for a mindset that empowers us to have hope in every situation that faces us. This starts when we fill our minds with Godly thoughts, hope, and faith.

Prayer Tip

Start every day by filling your mind with God’s word and asking Him to help you throughout the day. Ask Him to help you stay in conversation with Him throughout your day, and ask Him to help you recognize and remove things from your life that are filling your mind with content that is not of Him.

Action Step

A Godly morning routine was a game-changer for me: praying, reading, and journaling. God helped me start this routine at the beginning of my walk with Him, and this continues to be my routine. This might be a challenge, but determine yourself to start each day by intentionally connecting with the Source of Life. It will do wonders for your daily living. Start with ten minutes if you must; pray, read from the word, and journal about what you feel God is saying to you.
