MORNING DOSE
(Proverbs 23:7): "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee
This is the reality you can change your spouse/ you can change your country of residence/ you can change your color pigmentation/ you can go through plastic surgery but if you don't change your mind you will never change your life. You will never change your reality.
There are people who change partners believing the problem they have in this life is their marriage partner. We keep changing our jobs thinking the problem is my boss. There are people who keep changing their businesses believing the problem they have is the business. There are also people who keep changing churches.
I am not suggesting that is wrong. But unless you change your mind you will never change your reality. Your life is an overflow of your mind. Something deep rooted in your system.
On 14th May, 1912 the titanic hit an ice bag.
If you can see this glass all you can see above the water is a tip of the pen - about 10% - 90% percent of the pen is submerged in water. That's exactly what happened with the titanic - the captain could only see a tip of the iceberg out of the water surface. The iceberg is a heavy mountain of ice deep rooted in the sea and you cannot see it above the water surface and that's what brought the titanic down - 2200 people on board only 700 were rescued 1500 died at 2:20 a.m as the titanic began to sink.
What we see in your life is just the tip of the iceberg/ a tip of what is deep rooted in your mind. That which is above your mind is the conscious mind that which we see. What is deep rooted is the subconscious mind submerged within you just like the pen is submerged in the water.
That's what happens because of a set of beliefs from early school/ the people you listened to/ the first family where you are growing up/ what your mom believed.
Prayer for Renewed Minds: Transforming Beliefs for Lasting Change
Gracious Father,
As we come before you, we are reminded of the profound truth in Proverbs 23:7 – "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." We acknowledge the power of our thoughts and the impact they have on our lives.
We confess that at times, we have sought to change external circumstances without addressing the root within our minds. Today, we ask for your guidance and strength to transform our thinking.
Help us understand that true change starts from within, that no change in spouse, residence, appearance, or circumstances can substitute a renewed mind. May we not be deceived by external fixes but seek the transformation that only you can bring.
Lord, we lift up those who find themselves in cycles of change, moving from one circumstance to another without finding true fulfillment. Grant them the wisdom to examine and renew their minds, understanding that the source of their reality lies within.
We reflect on the analogy of the Titanic, where what is seen above the water is only a fraction of the deeper iceberg. May we be courageous in facing the submerged beliefs and thoughts that shape our lives, trusting in your grace to bring healing and transformation.
In our journey, we pray for discernment to identify and challenge the beliefs instilled in us from early influences. May your light shine on the subconscious, revealing the roots that need your transformative touch.
Lord, grant us the strength to embrace change at its core, acknowledging that our lives are an overflow of our minds. May our conscious and subconscious align with your truth and grace, bringing about lasting transformation.
We make this prayer in faith, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Enjoy a gracious Tuesday - God bless
