Think on these things
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
One of the devil’s major strategies is to try to control your mind and thoughts. However, if you can focus your thoughts on God and the things listed in the verse below, you are safe.
Philippians 4: 8 says
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Let us learn to focus our thoughts on the things listed in the verse in Philippians 4:8 and on God and His greatness and power. Thinking on these things will bring us peace and blessings.
God be with you.

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Ask God to give you the ability to think positively even in the midst of challenges.
2. When negative or evil thoughts come up in your mind, try to divert your attention, sing a song of praise, worship or thanksgiving.
3. You can also study the word or pray.
Prayer
Everlasting Father, thank you for your love, mercies, and blessings you shower on me each day. Help me to keep my thoughts on you throughout the day and give me peace. Amen.
