(Romans 12:2 NLT) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  

WHY I MUST MANAGE MY MIND?  

àBecause my thoughts control my life  

(Proverbs 4:23 GNT) Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. 

àBecause the mind is the battleground for sin.  

(Romans 7:22-23) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 

àBecause it’s the key to peace and happiness.  

(Romans 8:6 NLT) So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 

3 DAILY CHOICES FOR A HEALTHY MIND 

1.  FEED MY MIND WITH TRUTH.  

(John 8:32) “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” 

(Matthew 4:4 MSG) Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.” 

(Psalm 119:95) The wicked are waiting to destroy me, but I will ponder your statutes.

3.  FOCUS MY MIND ON THE RIGHT THINGS.    

(Hebrews 12:3) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 

(Philippians 2:4 ESV) Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 

(Colossians 3:2) Set your minds on things that are above, not on earthly things. 

(1 Corinthians 2:9) However, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human heart has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him—
