A further extension of gaining peace from God is positive thinking, or correct thinking. What we fill our minds with truly affects our everyday living. Often times we lie to ourselves or think on negative things much more often than anything positive. Philippians 4 talks about the types of things we should think about. By changing the way we think, we are able to give God our worry and gain from Him our peace; it's all connected and related! This week, try to surround yourself with positive people as well as try to find the positive in situations you would normally only find the negative. With the peace of God and positive thinking, we move closer to living a joyful life.
