Hold your thoughts captive.

I haven’t been here for a while. Not because I chose to be absent, but because when you are battling with your own mind, even finding your way back to the feet of Jesus at the altar can become difficult. Surrendering what you have been holding onto means relinquishing control. It means having faith in the unknown and choosing to believe what the Father says about you over what the enemy whispers to you. It means trusting God even when your thoughts, emotions and circumstances make it difficult to see Him clearly. Guard your heart. Let the Lord occupy your thoughts. Do not allow anything or anyone to take the place that belongs to God alone on the altar of your heart. Sometimes, surrender is not about having everything figured out. It is about returning to Him, even when you are still trying to find your way.
