When I got my new book Jesus Listen the book marker was in page 158 and I just love the prayer.
It's about having a positive attitude. As they say in the A.A change your attitude to gratitude. Because when your grateful you are more positive.
And I have heard this scripture Phillipians 4:8 a lot. In the prayer I have highlighted this part....
I admit that having a positive focus is not only countercultural but counter to my fallen nature. When Adam and Eve rebelled against You, everything was damaged by the fall- including my mind. As a result, focusing on excellent, admirable things is not at all natural to me. It requires persistent effort, trying to make the right choice over and over again. Lord, please help me choose to look for what is good--daily, moment by moment.
Philippians 4:8 NLT...
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Genesis 3:6NLT...
The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.
Phillipians 4:4NLT...
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
Psalm 73:23 NLT...
Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
