It is good to train our mind in alignment with God’s mind for us “In Christ,” as we are told to “renew” our mind in Romans 12:2, so we can think right and do right from God’s perspective, and fuel for our faith and to Praise Him. The battle is for our thought life, as the purpose of our mind is to “Love the LORD your God with all of your…MIND.” -{Read Luke 10:27}. It is good for us to think on truth when things are going well, or if nothing seems to be going on or things are tough, and anxious or fearful thoughts seem to multiply within us. Learning then that you have the power of the Spirit of God within to strengthen you and the promises of God to encourage you as you take every thought captive that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God.-{Read Phil 2:13; 2 Peter 1:4;2 Cor 10:5}. For example choosing something that is true about God and Praising Him, such as His Omni-presence. That He is Always PRESENT.

For example, “LORD I PRAISE You..,For You’re Being…

1. Present when You knit me in my mother’s WOMB -{Psalm 139:7,13}

16. I NEVER travel this life ALONE, for You Travel with me- {Psalm 139:7-11}

“Where can I go from Your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to You;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to You.

13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand—
    when I awake, I am still with you.”-{Psalm 139}

In all aspects of life from the womb to death to being with Him, you never travel this life unknown, insignificant, unwanted, but under the watchful caring eye of Him who has your best in mind, eternally so, and everlasting love, in alignment with His glory!

APPLICATION TO HELP;

1. Praise Him. Look again at  the 16 aspects of His PRESENCE which are mentioned and go back and praise Him before you read each one. PRAISE Him for each aspect of His PRESENCE with you.

2. Look up each Scriptural reference and read to allow the Holy Spirit to encourage and strengthen your mind.

3. Memorize and Meditate upon the Truth to transform your thinking to see life from His perspective.

4. One reason to memorize or underline in your Bible so you can be encouraged but also to allow the LORD use you to encourage OTHERS.

Praise Him, He is always PRESENT as you travel through this journey of life.
