“Finally beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 NRSV

Do you ever feel like there is nothing good going on in your life, so you start to dwell on your negative thoughts, and then they get darker and darker? You begin to lose hope and joy as you go through your days. Your thoughts have power, and letting that negativity take over your thoughts can make things go negative in your life more and more. God created this beautiful earth for us. Take some time to reflect on the beauty He has given us. Spend some time bringing joyful thoughts back in.

Dear God, thank You for this gorgeous day. Please help me lay my burdens at Your feet and help me bring joyful thoughts into my mind. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
