  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 1:05
  - Here is this week's devotional.
• 1:09
  - Hello, and welcome to divine five one five
• 1:11
  - daily prayers with Valerie Rocha.
• 1:14
  - Today, I wanna encourage you that if you're
• 1:16
  - feeling spiritually stuck,
• 1:19
  - how to renew your mind to scripture.
• 1:21
  - Scripture text comes from Romans twelve two and
• 1:24
  - says, do not confirm to the pattern of
• 1:26
  - this world, but be transformed by the renewing
• 1:28
  - of your mind.
• 1:30
  - Now, have you ever noticed how easy it
• 1:32
  - is to become discouraged, anxious, or overwhelmed?
• 1:35
  - I mean, if we just take a moment
• 1:38
  - to look at the news
• 1:39
  - in less than five minutes, you're going to
• 1:41
  - feel absolutely
• 1:43
  - emotionally
• 1:44
  - exasperated
• 1:45
  - between the voices of culture and social media
• 1:48
  - and the everyday pressures that we're constantly facing.
• 1:52
  - All of these things
• 1:54
  - are competing for our attention
• 1:56
  - and without realizing
• 1:59
  - it, they begin shaping how we think.
• 2:02
  - And most of the time, it's probably not
• 2:05
  - for the, for the good, unfortunately,
• 2:09
  - but whatever consistently fills our minds will eventually
• 2:13
  - shape our beliefs.
• 2:15
  - The scripture tells us that as a man
• 2:17
  - thinks, so he is, or so he becomes
• 2:19
  - so for constantly consuming fear or comparison
• 2:23
  - and negativity,
• 2:24
  - it's gonna be really difficult to experience God's
• 2:26
  - peace.
• 2:28
  - But the good news is a scripture renews
• 2:31
  - our thinking by replacing lies with the truth.
• 2:35
  - And as we meditate on God's promises,
• 2:38
  - that fear that you're struggling with,
• 2:41
  - it may not leave immediately,
• 2:44
  - but it will begin to loosen its grip.
• 2:46
  - If you stay consistent with
• 2:49
  - it, confusion
• 2:51
  - will give way to wisdom and anxiety
• 2:54
  - will give way to peace as well.
• 2:57
  - And
• 2:58
  - the key to remember here is that the
• 3:00
  - more time we spend allowing God's word to
• 3:02
  - be shaped our minds,
• 3:04
  - the more naturally our lives will begin to
• 3:06
  - reflect Christ.
• 3:08
  - And scripture tells us, let this mind be
• 3:10
  - in you that is also
• 3:12
  - in Christ Jesus.
• 3:13
  - So let's pursue
• 3:15
  - the mind of Christ and
• 3:18
  - be mentally
• 3:20
  - empowered.
• 3:21
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 3:25
  - Heavenly father,
• 3:26
  - renew our mind to the truth of your
• 3:29
  - word.
• 3:30
  - Help us to recognize every thought that pulls
• 3:33
  - us away from you and replace it with
• 3:35
  - your promises.
• 3:36
  - Shape our attitudes,
• 3:38
  - our
• 3:39
  - decisions,
• 3:40
  - our perspectives
• 3:41
  - until they reflect your heart.
• 3:45
  - Thank you for transforming us through your truth,
• 3:48
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 3:50
  - Amen.
• 3:52
  - Well, we wanna continue to encourage you to
• 3:55
  - renew your mind through God's word on a
• 3:57
  - daily basis.
• 3:59
  - And always remember,
• 4:01
  - prayer isn't something that
• 4:03
  - we do, it's how we live.
