Start Every Day With a Great Thought

DAY 1 OF 5

Positive Thinking Changes Your Heart

Reflection

Positive thinking is a dire necessity for handling life and its challenges each day. The human heart is often perturbed with so many worries and fears that makes it fragile and leaves one almost giving up on life itself. Positive thinking aids the heart to be strong and stay hopeful in the face of seemingly insurmountable circumstances.

The activities that happen around us send triggers to the heart. These triggers, especially when negative, could affect our hearts and weaken our resolve. This could lead to depression and moodiness. In a time like this, positive thinking can act as a medicine to cure the heart of its ills and restores it to a state of constant joy. This leaves us hopeful of the future and gives us the fortitude to wade through the tides and trials of life.

Even the Bible reminds us in Proverbs 23:7, that as we think in our heart, so we are. This encourages us to embrace positive thinking as a way of life. God wants us to think aright irrespective of whatever situation we may find ourselves in. So know today that God wants you to think positively at all times. As you embrace this lifestyle, your heart will become transformed in a way you would not imagine. You will confidently be able to face any situation that comes your way. Make it your decision to live life from this perspective every day. Engage, embrace, and practice positive thinking always.

Prayer

God, I need your help right now. Help my heart to embrace positive thoughts. I receive your help to stay positive in this process I am going through right now.

Next step

Take some time to write down those things your heart is afraid of right now. Take a good look at each of them and mentally give a positive outlook to each of them.

Scripture: Proverbs 17:22 

“A joyful heart is a good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
