 Never mind these excuses that we tell ourselves that we can't control what we think. When the scripture commands us to fix our thoughts, it's assuming that that's possible. Never mind our excuses when we say things like, well, that's just a thought that keeps coming to my mind. I can't do anything about it. Or I can't change the way I think. Or I can't do anything about the way I was raised and how it formed my mind. No, my friend, the scripture tells you, fix your thoughts. You choose what you think. Thoughts are the actions of the mind, just like you choose your actions with your physical body in this physical world. So you choose your thoughts. Even if it doesn't feel like that, even it may not always seem like that, you choose your thoughts. Fix your thoughts, the Bible says.
