The Thought That Won't Stop Looping in Your Mind

What thought has been looping in your mind lately? We all have them - a quiet fear, a flicker of bitterness, a worry that just won't shift.In today's 5-minute devotional, we look at Paul's words to Timothy: run from what drags you down, and chase after what lifts you up. This isn't about guilt or forcing positivity. It's about direction. Because what we feed grows.In this video:- Why some thoughts need evicting, not unpacking- The simple shift from dwelling on bitterness to dwelling on grace- What the Salvation Army learns from people finding freedom from addiction and trauma- A gentle question to help you take stock todayTimestamps / Chapters0:00 The thought that keeps looping0:40 What Paul tells Timothy (2 Timothy 2:22)1:01 Some thoughts need evicting1:42 What we feed grows2:14 A first step towards healing2:44 What are you filling your mind with?3:05 Grace, not guilt3:56 We weren't made to fight alone4:20 A prayer for your day📱 THE BATTLE DRILL APP Every day is a chance to hear from God.
