‘Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…..’ Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Why do we need a renewing of our mind? There may be many answers to this question, but let me give you one. It is a temptation for us to gaze into the future, instead of living in the present. Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount,“…..don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34 (NLT)
When we gaze into the future our mind plays tricks with us, and we tend to worry about what might or might not happen. Worrying about the future actually blocks our relationship with God, and prevents us from receiving Jesus’ peace and serenity. So what is the answer? ‘Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:6-7 (GNT)
So…...ask, say thanks at the time of asking, then just rest in God’s peace.
