Your Mind is a Battlefield Part 4: Be Proactive in Prayer

Hello Friends! We finally made it to Part 4 of this series!

We have learned how to recognize who our real enemy is. We have learned how to arm ourselves for battle with the word of God. We have learned how to be intentional with our thought life and take captive the thoughts that don’t line up with the word of God.

We need to fight the battle of the mind by being proactive in prayer.

Stay Focused

No matter what you are going through, 

No matter how the winds and waves are raging, 

No matter how impossible it may seem, 

No matter how scary it gets,

Stay focused.

Spending time in the presence of the Lord in the morning provides me with the strength and patience that I need to accomplish the day's tasks, helps me to keep my focus on Him, and gives me direction, clarity, and grace to take on the day.

There is nothing like starting off the day with coffee, Jesus, and a candle.
