Change

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, is a form of psychological treatment that involves efforts to change thinking patterns which will effectively lead to one facing their fears rather than avoiding them, learning to develop problem solving strategies, etc…

Change your thoughts, change your behavior.

Before this was a psychological treatment, this was a biblical/Jesus solution.

Too often, we find ourselves stuck in a rut of destructive thought patterns and behaviors. Unable to cope, unable to let go, unable to process, unable to think clearly… Why? When we go to church, we even serve on various ministries… Why then do we sometimes find ourselves stuck?

Could it be because we have not fully surrendered to God? Could it be because we have not allowed Jesus to transform our thinking by the renewing of our minds? Sometimes it’s our minds that need to be rewired. It’s not he/her/him/she. Sometimes the finger needs to point at ourselves.

I do my best to pray for God to shine a light on the areas in my life where I need Him to transform my thinking by the renewing of my mind, so I can be, and live, changed. I don’t want to live like the old me. I want to live like the person God created me to be. Everyday, drawing closer to Him.
