Spirituality and Compulsive Behavior
The mind is a battlefield. It is a place of dread where a solitary soldier must cross a minefield of worry. But you are not alone. God is with you. Armed with a vacuum cleaner in one hand and Godly thoughts in the other, you take on Goliath with weapons of patience, faith and hope. You can be improving your thoughts on life while vacuuming, picking veggies in a grocery store or weeding the garden. You can do it while standing or sitting. Every time you change from a negative thought to a positive one, you have gained a victory.It is not easy. Self-defeating thoughts have become routed in your thinking. It takes a lot of work. There will be times when you want to give up, but never must you quit. When you win, the payoff is gigantic. Peace, hope and feeling loved all come through winning battles over negative thoughts.
Challenge your negative thinking. Refuse to give in to nagging, complaining emotions. The next time that doubt shows its ugly insecure face, say “No! I am forgiven and that is that.” Feel good about it. Thank God for being forgiven. When you are down and the world seems bleak and full of problems, think good, encouraging thoughts and you will have peace. The mind easily goes into the worry mode, mulling over all the gloomiest details.
When faced with a problem, get the facts down on paper, and then make a decision about what you are going to do about that problem. When you are tempted to worry, you can say to yourself, “No, I have made a decision. This is in God’s hands. Worrying will not help.” If you want to do something positive, pray about the situation, but pray believing that God is working it out. Visualize a good outcome to the problem and see yourself thanking God for answering your prayers. You are His child. He loves you. He has prepared a place for you. You are forgiven of your sins. He will protect you. He has promised to bless you. Get emotional, rouse up some passion, and get angry at negative thoughts. Don’t just go along for a ride. You are in charge. You have control over your thoughts and your actions.
