Well, so often we focus on the physical being; its faults and short comings.  Some have disease by default and dysfunction all of the wrong places.  Joints that squeak and muscles that ache.  But we forget that to be whole is in all areas:  mind, body, and soul.  

Let’s start with the mind!  Mental distress and mental illness fog our minds with fear, doubt, and skepticism.  Scripture tells us that God did not give us the spirit of fear but one of peace, love, and a sound mind. –II Timothy 1:7 KJV

More times than most, this is where the first battle begins; in the mind.  The enemy wants to change your perception of God.  If he can change your perception then everything else wu follow.  

You don’t believe me?  Okay, why would the devil want your car?  Or the stolen parking space?  He wants you!  He can get you to denounce God and Who He Is; then the enemy has you.  

In this day and time as women of God we struggle with mental challenges.  It’s so easy to just give him room and not HIM.  No one wants to give of themselves to God–well not completely.  That would mean that I would have to surrender to His Will. 

If we are going to win the battle of the mind it starts with surrendering.  

Today, pray a prayer of total surrender.  God wants you all of you and it begins in the mind.  Every thought-whether it be a worry or a win, give it to Jesus!  Show HIM that you trust him with ALL!   It starts now, today!
