"... whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)

Being grateful it makes you less anxious

For people who don't have many positive childhood memories, Psalm 1:1-3 offers a solution. "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." God's word is the "whatever" list from Philippians 4:8.

I can't tell you how timely it is to have been listening to this broadcast on my way back from my day mentoring with 5 women incarcerated at a prison in Florida! While I try to share how important it is to learn to "Praise through the Pain", Psalm 57, it's hard to make that a "non-gimicky" tool for these ladies to use as they struggle with their lives. I'll now use your text to help bring them the science that shows us what God has already done in their lives--and how He will continue to renew their minds....THANK YOU!

I’ve probably never commented on these, but Jim Daily you are an a excellent host and definitely anointed for this job. You always bring it back to scripture so beautifully you are wise and full of the Holy Spirit. This was an excellent interview. Thank you for your ministry. All of you at focus on the family.

God's love and His word gives us positive coping skills for our lives.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions we have is that this is easy; it is not. But if you're willing to go the long haul and just trust the process and trust GOD to help you in this process, you'll see over time how you're thinking changes. You HAVE to understand that how you've been thinking for so many years will take a long time to change, but change it will. You just have to push through, taking it day by day. Focus on each day, don't try to plan ahead or have expectations for tomorrow. It's all about renewing your mind this day, sometimes minute by minute. Studying scriptures like Phil 4:6-8, Romans 12:2, Isaiah 41:10 daily has helped me tremendously in slowly changing my thinking patterns. And it has definitely affected the way I percieve and react to the world around me in a positive way, but it is definitely a long process. I have committed my way to the LORD and HE is making my paths straight!!!

Glad to hear Dr. Warren focus on the truth of God's Word! When we wait for science to catch up, we miss out. Many decades ago, I listened to this venue. The focus was always disparaging of those who had broken families, making matters much, much harder, as a young believer. Because of wanting to be teachable, I listened to the 'bad news', over God's promises, and made wrong decisions, 'so that my children would not be one of the statistics'. Bottom line, delve into God's Word, draw near to Jesus / Yeshua. Trust Him, and Him alone, more than anything!! He is His Word! Whoever this is for, I cannot point you in the Way, enough! Blessings. He Himself will be with you all the way!

When my daughter was little she started writing at an early age. So every night part of our nighttime routine was each of us writing down 3 things we were grateful for in journals. A few years ago she told me that she hated doing that. I kinda giggled and said that God knew you would need it at some point in your life. Lol Time will tell
