"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. "
Romans 12:2 (NLT)
Let's Pray:
Lord, I pray that you will help me not to copy the behaviors and customs of this world, but help me to let you transform me into a new person by changing the way I think. Then I will know what you want me to do, and I will know how good and pleasing and perfect your will really is. Today, while I am at school, help me to remember that you are the one doing the changing in me and I am doing the cooperating. Thank you! In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Let's Talk:
I encourage you today to look up this verse and highlight it in your Bible. It helps us to know that we are not the ones who are making the change happen, its God doing the changing.
Let me be straight with you. If you are thinking in your head that you're dumb or you're not going to do very well on your test, or no one is going to want to sit with you at lunch; GOD IS NOT THE ONE TELLING YOU THAT! He would not put those thoughts in your head. So the next time you start thinking negative thoughts, STOP, say to God: "Please take away these thoughts, Lord. Help me by changing the way I think!"

O.K., I read this yesterday, but I clicked on the wrong thing, so I didn't comment
I really liked it. It's something I haven't thought of lately.
