Unhelpful thoughts easily get stuck in our minds, like a broken record that plays over and over again.
This kind of thinking wakes us up at night, distracts us during the day, and makes us physically sick. It does us no favors!
And the worst part is, it’s not even real.
They’re lies. Lies aimed to keep us bound and stuck.
It’s not easy to break the pattern of ruminating in destructive thinking.
It takes consistent and steady effort to identify the lies and replace them with the truth.
Psalm 136 is a great place to start.
Over and over again, the truth His faithful love endures forever is repeated.
When you discover yourself stuck in a lie, try repeating this phrase instead.
I pray this meditation will help you know more of God’s faithful and enduring love for you and that it will alleviate some of the fear and anxiety that’s been rolling around in your mind.
