Check Your Thinking
Joyce Meyer once said that: when you feel depressed, check your thinking. It is not God’s will for you to be depressed.
One day, you might feel this way. You’re so depressed. You don’t know where it comes from. Or maybe you know something about it. But, it’s just like the accumulation of little things that you thought as nothing a.k.a you won’t be affected by them. And yet, they made you feel depressed and frustrated. Maybe it’s living with your arrogant family’s member, maybe it’s (just) working with someone dominant who feel he’s always right all the time. Maybe it’s just a grumpy baby that cries every hour. Maybe… and maybe…
You thought they’re just simple things, you won’t be bothered by these things.
But then, you finally found that you can’t take it anymore. You’re stressed out. Joyce Meyer reminds us to check our thinking. And what kind of thinking that we need to fill our mind with? According to bible, it’s the true thing, noble thing, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious – the best, not the worst. The beautiful, not the ugly. Things to praise, not to curse. Positive ones not the negative ones. It’s easy to stay negative, because human tends to think this way. But, overall…Stay positive! It will help us a lot. If you think you can’t, ask Him for more positive things in your mind. (-fon-)
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse
--- Philippians 4:8
