4 Powerful Bible Passages To Combat Your Negative Thoughts

What are you facing right now that is robbing you of joy, happiness, and peace of mind? Do you feel weak inside and like you can’t get above negative thoughts? May we remind you… 

Greater is the Lord Jesus who is in you than the enemy Satan who comes against you today and every day. He comes to rob, kill, and destroy – your thoughts, your peace, your joy… he’ll do anything he can do to separate you from God.

But Jesus… He gives you life – a full life – and nothing, absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God. Today, you have victory over your thoughts, and you can choose life-giving thoughts because of the life-giving power of Jesus. Lift your thoughts and remind Satan there’s no room him. His purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy, but God’s purpose is to give you a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10).

Below are four pieces of Scripture to help you lift your thoughts above the noise of the enemy. We pray your heart is able to receive them and that they help you remember the power and love of our God ❤️

1 Peter 5:7-9

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.”

1 John 4:4

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”

Philippians 4:8

 “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Romans 8:31-39

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one—for God Himself has given us right standing with Himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? As the Scriptures say, ‘For Your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.^‘ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
