Worship
Me only. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god.
Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of it's
own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by
affirming your trust in Me and refreshing yourself in My presence. What
goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But I
read your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in Me, I
rejoice when your mind turns towards Me. Guard your thoughts
diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to Me. Psalm 112:7;
1 Corinthians 13:11.
