• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.

• 1:47
  - Rocha.
• 1:49
  - Here is today's
• 1:50
  - prayer focus.
• 1:52
  - If you're feeling spiritually stuck,
• 1:55
  - change what is feeding your mind.
• 1:57
  - Scripture text comes from Colossians three two and
• 2:00
  - says, set your minds on things above,
• 2:02
  - not on earthly things.
• 2:05
  - Sometimes we ask God to renew our minds
• 2:07
  - while continually feeding them the very thing that
• 2:10
  - keeps us discouraged.
• 2:12
  - Hours of sleep,
• 2:14
  - constant bad news,
• 2:16
  - comparisons,
• 2:17
  - arguments,
• 2:18
  - opinions,
• 2:21
  - entertainment that leaves us spiritually empty.
• 2:25
  - We can't control everything we encounter,
• 2:28
  - but we can become more intentional about what
• 2:31
  - receives
• 2:32
  - repeated access to our
• 2:35
  - minds. What we consume can feel harmless because
• 2:38
  - its influence is gradual.
• 2:41
  - But what repeatedly gets our attention eventually begins
• 2:44
  - influencing our thoughts,
• 2:46
  - attitudes, and responses.
• 2:49
  - Prayer creates awareness.
• 2:51
  - We can ask God, show me what I'm
• 2:54
  - allowing into my mind that is making it
• 2:56
  - harder to hear your truth.
• 2:59
  - Then comes the practical step.
• 3:01
  - Turn something off, step away,
• 3:04
  - open scripture,
• 3:06
  - create
• 3:07
  - quiet.
• 3:09
  - Prayer helps us recognize what needs to change,
• 3:12
  - and God's word gives us something better to
• 3:14
  - fill the space.
• 3:17
  - Let's pray.
• 3:20
  - Father, give us wisdom
• 3:22
  - about what we allow to influence our minds.
• 3:26
  - Reveal anything we've repeatedly consumed
• 3:29
  - that is weakening our peace,
• 3:31
  - distracting us from you, or shaping
• 3:34
  - our thinking in unhealthy ways.
• 3:37
  - Give us discipline to create boundaries where they're
• 3:39
  - needed and deeper hunger for your word.
• 3:42
  - Fill the spaces
• 3:44
  - we surrender with truth that strengthens our faith
• 3:47
  - and draws us closer to you.
• 3:49
  - And we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 3:51
  - Amen.
• 3:53

• 3:56
