Power Thoughts

In life’s turbulent journey, you might often discover your greatest battles take place – not in the world outside – but within the confines of your mind. Anchored in 2 Timothy 1:7, you can find encouragement to tap into your divine inner strength and promote a mindset of positivity to overcome adversities.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.

– 2 Timothy 1:7 RSV

During challenging times, fear and negativity can creep into your thoughts, transforming manageable issues into colossal obstacles. These discouraging whispers are nothing more than illusionary voices of defeat, intent on undermining your confidence and serenity.

So, what’s the antidote? Power thoughts. Your mind is the initial battlefield, and overcoming begins within it. By consciously cultivating thoughts of power, love and self-control, you create an internal environment that nurtures resilience and optimism.

Lean on the promise of God, who has equipped you with the spirit of power, love and self-control.
