Who's bidding for the power of your mind today?
Who will win?
Worry: the litany of things that could happen that cycles over and over in your mind
Discontent: the desire to have a life like someone else instead of enjoying your own station and giftings
Anger: the seething of old wounds or recent injustices
Fatigue: the overscheduling of your day that limits intentional and essential time for rest and recovery
Clutter: the failure to throw away, give away, and restore to order your living spaces
There's quite an auction going on in your head. You and the other voices that compete for your mind are the auctioneers, for sure, but may I give you this hope: you are the owner of the building and no one holds an auction in your building without your permission.
Today I am asking for help to keep my auction house under control: Jesus, help me cut short every auction that begins to compete for the power of my mind. Teach me about You so my mind can enjoy your love and strength as the template for my thinking.
