But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. – Psalm 71:14
Moods can be impacted by the weather, circumstances, or what’s happening with the physical body. What people allow their minds to dwell on contributes to their mental health. It is important to bathe your mind in the word of God. Like a hot bubble bath can calm, clean, and enliven, the scriptures will do the same for your mind as you pray and meditate on them.
Philippians 4:8 says whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, and excellent, think on these things.
Meditate on God’s promises. It is also important to affirm to yourself who you are in Christ: loved, forgiven, God’s child, and more. Topical studies on hope, joy, peace, or patience will help your mood stay balanced and consistent.
Psalms 34:18 states that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Today’s verse says to hope continually and praise God more and more. Praising Him for who He is and what He has done for you also leads to a healthy mind.
As the apostle Paul told Timothy, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, KJV).
