Isaiah 26:3
"You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." NIV
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." KJV
It doesn't come naturally, keeping our minds on God and the things of God. But our minds do tend to stay connected to the things we value the most. Frequently making our connection with God through faith by the Holy Spirit allows us to be "God minded" on an ongoing basis. We will know by the peace we experience if our minds are directed toward Him.
Heavenly Father, it is difficult to keep our minds on You in this turbulent world, but you have given us all we need to keep our minds focused on You. Help us to stay tuned in to You and Your ways, not just so that we can have peace, but because You are worthy of our attention. In Jesus' name, Amen.
