What Causes Wandering Thoughts?

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5

Your issue might be a recent diagnosis starting with the dreaded letter C or it might be feeling like second fiddle in the lives of extended family members. It may be you feel you don’t measure up or you feel untalented. You may feel left out and unappreciated. Friend every one of these things is pure plain stinking thinking. These thoughts are from the pit of hell! 

First don’t speak out negative thoughts especially if you are only making assumptions. Don’t assume you will keel over with an affliction. Speak words of life. It is a discipline daily to train your mind to ‘not go there’ and focus on things that uplift. Stay peaceful and not engaged in debates and controversies. Instead of checking social media check the word of God. 

Stop, think, then proceed without putting any thoughts into words. Don’t let fear or speculation rule you. Trust God. Pray. 

PRAYER: Often times my mind drifts and I have wrong thoughts. Help me to not listen to the voice of the enemy but the voice of my God in Heaven. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
