What were you thinking? How the Bible transforms your life and family

Have you ever found yourself going down a pattern of thinking, only to wonder how you got there? Whether daydreaming in a positive way, or more likely, going down some negative spiral of anxiety, our minds can often be anywhere than where we intended them to be.

I think we can all resonate with how our thoughts can radically alter how we experience the day. Perhaps we’re aware we want to think differently about a situation, but we’re so used to approaching it in a certain way that we don’t even know where to start.

God’s invitation to us is to renew our minds.

 So what does it mean to renew our minds?

You’ll likely be familiar with the verse in Romans 12:2:

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

 Or I love how it’s translated in the NLT version “Be transformed by changing the way that you think.”
