Day 97: The Recipe for Peace

Finally, brothers, 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. That’s the ongoing recipe for peace, is focus on the positive. Don’t think about the evil. Don’t think about people who’ve harmed you. Don’t think about the problems that may arise. Focus on that which is good. Focus on God, His love, His faithfulness. Focus on His word, focus on the people who care for you and pray for you. Think about all the good that you’ve received from people. Don’t let your mind be preoccupied with the negative.
