Have you ever tried to read the bible or pray and had to deal with competing thoughts just roaring through your mind? Or is it just me that has to deal with busyness of mind? I talked to God about this and asked for his help. His reply was that I had his help and I just needed to buckle down and use his help. He said my mind needed to be in his intensive care unit.

Gods ICU is his word.  God has given us his peace (John 14:27) and a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7).  We need to stay our minds on God’s word (Isa 26:3), renew our minds with his word (Rom 12:2) and bring every thought into the obedience of Christ (2 Cor 10:4-5).

How do we do this? Well, get hold of the word and mediate it day and night (mediate is to mull it over, speak it to yourself); it works, we just need to do it. Get radical and make sure you read Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt mediate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”. Alleluia, just preached myself happy again; think I will just run around my office.
