Mind Games

Long ago, I read a book called "The Practice the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence. It changed my whole approach to my Christian life! Basically, it recommends becoming aware of the presence of God in every moment of your life, not just keeping it in its own little compartment. It's a great idea! But it can be difficult to do sometimes! Especially when your mind is focused on work skills and relationship dramas.

My mind has a little game it plays on me, where music gets stuck there on repetition! Over the years it's accumulated quite a repertoire of worship songs, along with others. And I've noticed in the past that God has used them to refocus me. So now I've asked him deliberately to do that. To use those songs to refocus my mind on him when it's drifted away to other things.

And it works! It resettles my thoughts into his positivity when it's sliding into more negative ones. It's a really cool way of retuning during the day! Make sure your mind is filled with 'God' stuff that he can draw you in with during your day - whatever that may be in your mind.
