 We say things like, well, I have intrusive thoughts, so there's nothing I can do about this. Know, my friend, you can take hold of it through the authority that God gave you and through the practice of meditating on the Word. I know it doesn't seem like you can control your thoughts. I know it doesn't seem like there's anything you can do to help that. I know it seems like you're absolutely helpless, but this is what the Bible teaches, that we can choose what we place our mind on. So when we make a practice of meditating on the Word, thinking of those truths, rehearsing those truths, repeating those truths internally, now the Word begins to wash our minds.
