It is very important that our thinking be proper! The thing that motivates, empowers, strengthens, and causes a Christian to rejoice is to think Godly thoughts.  If a person is thinking worldly, earthly, human thoughts he is wide open to satanic influences and evil infiltration. To see life only from a horizontal vantage point is tragic. A Spirit filled, Word intoxicated, Christ loving person who applies the Truth of God consistently will be victorious and PRODUCTIVE!

Psalm 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee."

1^st Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him, for He careth for you.” (Casting all your anxiety on Him, because to Him it matters concerning you.)

Philippians 4:7 "The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep (garrison) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

2nd Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart (mind), and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

Colossians 3:1,2 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set you affection on things above, not on things on the earth." "Set your affection on" means keep thinking about the upward things.

Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

John 15:12 "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you."
