What's on your mind?

So this morning I wake up and my mind is consumed with the dream I had last night. First thing I did was pray and I asked God to take it away. As soon as I put my bread in the toaster I started to think about the dream and it started to hurt me and make me mad. As I finished my breakfast I prayed some more and then it hit me, why am I letting this bother me? Then the Lord spoke to me and said to renew my mind. So I found Romans 12:2, read it and took some time to put that into practice. I started to think about just the amazing services we have been having this past week at church and all the amazing things God has done and is going to do. That alone turned my whole mindset back to where my focus should be, on God!
So ask yourself this; what's on your mind? What is your mind so consumed with that it would take your focus off God? Is it bills, school, relationships, pain, worry, depression? These are all things that take our minds off God. The funny thing I've noticed about these things are instead of taking our minds off God our minds should be going to God. Now I'm not saying that there are things that you shouldn't be thinking about, I'm just saying that we shouldn't let those things consume our thoughts and lives. I know it's easier said then done but last time I checked we serve a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy BIG GOD!
So my prayer for us is that we would take the time today to renew our minds and shift our focus back on God. Ways that I do this is I talk with him, I read his word and find all those promises he has given us, and one thing that helps me is I fill my ears with worship music. I pray that we allow all our worries and thoughts that consume our minds to be  traded for the Lord's love and perfect peace.
