Hearts and Sleeves - Week Thirty Four

It happens to the best of us. You’re going about your day and a thought pops into your head that is sinful, trashy, and just so nasty that it makes you blush to think about! Instead of feeling condemnation or ignoring it and letting it linger in the shadows of your mind, do a mental detox, starting with repentance. Ask God to make you clean inside and out so your mind can be a holy place where He can dwell. Your mind is never empty, so once you clean out the trash fill up the space with something good. Pull out a Scripture and meditate on it, tell the Lord all the things that you’re thankful for, focus on someone else and bless them, or hum some worship songs. Fill your mind with the things of God so that there is no room for anything else! (Philippians 4:8)
