SABRINA
We all know that feeling. It is the middle of the night and you are awake. The issue that has bothered you during the day has suddenly grown into a huge monster in the middle of the darkness, robbing you of much needed sleep. New worries entangle themselves with old worries, feeding the negative thoughts and feelings. Suddenly you are living in a world you have created, unable to manage things that will most probably never happen.
Romans 12:2 tells us to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we can prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.
When we hear this verse we often don’t consider that God is not only telling us to transform our minds, but also assuring us it is possible.
Scientific studies have shown that the way we habitually think forms physiological patterns in our brains – as we think, so shall we become! When we humbly admit our need for changing the negative, fear gripping thoughts and invite Christ to renew our minds — one thought at a time — we are blessed with the ability to enjoy life, despite its challenges. We are saying that we know that this is NOT a problem that God can’t help us to handle.
It sounds so easy, yet it IS so hard. When we do this, however, not only do we conquer our own fear, we are a witness of God’s healing power to others!
If you do not have a church home, I invite you to come and live life with us at Central. Life IS hard – it is easy to let the negative hold us in its mighty grip, but at Central, we do life together, the good, the bad, the ugly and THAT is a positive!
