Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life. [Proverbs 4:23 (NCV)]

We all have an inner voice that often fills us with negative thoughts. It says things like, “You’re not good enough…you’re worthless…you don’t know how to do that…you have nothing to offer…you’re too old or too young or too fat or too weak or too dumb or unlovable.” Those are not God’s words and that’s not God’s voice we’re hearing; it’s Satan’s. What is that inner voice saying to you? Our thoughts run our lives; we must never let those negative thoughts ruin them.

Lord, speak loud and clear to us and drown out any negativity that is whispering in our ears.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. [Norman Vincent Peale]

Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right. [From “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch]
