MASTERMIND—2

TRAINING YOUR MIND

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.  Philippians 4:8 NIV

meditation: to engage in mental exercise; to focus one’s thoughts.

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.  Psalm 119:15-16 NIV

… I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. Psalm 143:5

“Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name,”   Matthew 6:9

“your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”   Matthew 6:10

“Give us today our daily bread.”  Matthew 6:11

“Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors.”   Matthew 6:12

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”   Matthew 6:13

“For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

You’re always gonna screw up.

You’re not good enough.

Your life is hard, nobody understands.

Everybody in your family battles with weight, you’re always gonna battle, it’s just part of who you are.

You can never measure up.

Who do you think you are?

You’ll never make it.

Why do you bother trying?

After what you did, God could never use you.

You’re always gonna struggle financially, everybody in your family does.

Relationally, you’re a mess. You could never have true intimacy, you could never be close to anybody.

Identify whatever that lie is that held you hostage.
