The Word
Be in the Word. Read the Word. Let the Word read you. What does it say? How can I summarize each passage into two or three sentences? What does it mean? What does each passage teach me? What is the spiritual truths or principles in these verses? How can I apply this? What is the Lord specifically leading me to do in response to this passage?
Hear yourself
Step outside your thoughts. Think about what you think about - record it. Write it down.
Investigate
See what the Bible says about it. Write down the truth of what God says about the thoughts you think about. Here’s a tool we have for you - https://revtrev.com/realme
Narrate
Ask God what he thinks about your thoughts. Write down what His response is. Ask Him what you should do to get the truth into your thinking. Write down that response. Habakkuk 2:1-2 - Tune to flow. Be at rest. See Jesus. Record response.
Know
Get the truth inside you. Reinforce that truth in your mind. Find a memorable action to reinforce that truth seven times a day, 21 days in a row, in three sessions of 21 days.
Examples:
- Memorize scripture like "God shall meet all my needs..." and replace the worry with this each time you find your mind doing a "what if" financial worry.
- Cultivate a strong awareness of saying to yourself, each time you worry, something like: "I don't need to worry; that's causing inflammation in my brain and making me worse."
- Smile each time you feel yourself worry and imagine yourself looking into God's eyes as He carries you.
It’s scientifically proven this will reform your brain cells. This works on the physical level.
Challenge
Will you think about what you think about and line it with the truth of God’s word? Use this tool to help you do it.
