We often fail to realize how powerful the mind is, and how important it is for us to guard it carefully, and be careful what we think on, for the mind is the gateway to the soul. I have a little quote written in my Bible that says:
"The battle for man's soul is won or lost in the mind."
Isaiah 26:3 says: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee."
I love the beautiful verse in Philippians 4:8---"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." It seems like we need to add a heartfelt "Amen"!!
I like this thought:
"Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds.
You can grow flowers, or -- you can grow weeds!"
So let us go often -- and spend some time -- in the "Beautiful Garden of Prayer".
