Two Sides to Every Coin
Have you ever heard the idiom, “there are two sides to every coin?”
Sometimes in life, negative thoughts can control how we feel. They often cause our emotions to spin out of control; dictating how we react to situations. Dwelling on the negative will breed frustration and discontentment. But just like a coin, there is another side; dwelling on the positive will breed joy and contentment.
Proverbs 4:23 reads,
“Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.”
A negative thought is like a virus, they spread and corrupt every aspect of our lives. They are contagious and quickly spreads to our friends and loved ones. Positive thoughts work the same way and your positive attitude can lift up those around you.
In Philippians 4:8 we read,
“…whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
If you find yourself overwhelmed by negative thoughts, pray this prayer,
Lord, help change my thoughts. Help me dwell on the good, Godly things. Let me be a person of hope and positivity.
