What does the Bible say about our thoughts? – A driller’s perspective

Recently a driller, Kyrie from Valdosta, shared with us that Philippians 4:8 meant a lot to her. This is a verse that our High School Drillers are memorizing this year. She said that “this verse helps me when I’m mad, sad or angry. I say (to myself) that these things shouldn’t be in my head. I shouldn’t even be thinking these thoughts.”

What do you think about when you are mad, sad, angry, frustrated or overwhelmed? Philippians 4:8 encourages us: “Finally, finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things.” Do we as believers focus on God’s Word and His promises? What is your favorite verse when life is overwhelming?
