Have you ever had doubts in your mind? To me, that is the scariest thing. Satan fills my mind with things which are not true and yet sometimes, I let it come into my heart. I have opened a doorway for the evil one.
As I was listening to Pastor Edmund on Sunday during GDOP, he spoke from Deut 6:5"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.". He was talking about how God showed him that he had doubts and believing that the Almighty One can provide.
As I listened, God brought to my mind all the thoughts that I had. What difference is there from this and that? I tried with my own strength to reject such thoughts. But it came back again. It dawned upon me that I should be doing it with the Lord's help. It's not me. It's Him who can help me retain a sound mind.
2 Tim 1:7 "For the Spirit of God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
I read it over and over again. I prayed, "Lord, fill my heart and my mind with thoughts of love. May I always look to you for strength. May I always love you with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. Thank you for showing me that it is You and not me. Forgive me if I have chosen to do it my way. Help me Lord, to reject thoughts of doubts. Give me a sound mind and fill my life with your peace. May Your will be done for my life. Thank You, Abba Father."
It also reminds me that sometimes, we tend to forget on where our faith should lie. Indeed, I thank God for His reminder that He will always be there for me to help me through. How could we ever forget such a simple principle? We can. So always remember to pray for yourself and ask the Lord for His wisdom and guidance.
