In the Bible we find this passage from
Saint Paul about filling our minds with
good things.
“I want you to be happy,
always happy in the Lord.
I repeat, what I want is your happiness.
Let your tolerance be evident to everyone:
the Lord is very near.
There is no need to worry:
but if there is anything you need,
pray for it,
asking God for it
with prayer and thanksgiving,
and that peace of God,
which is so much greater
than we can understand,
will guard your hearts and your thoughts
in Christ Jesus.
Finally, fill your minds
with everything that is true,
everything that is noble,
everything that is good and pure,
everything that we love and honour,
and everything
that can be thought virtuous
or worthy of praise…
Then the God of peace will be with you.”
The scripture is Philippians 44-9: Jerusalem Bible
Let’s pause for a moment in silent prayer,
asking that our minds be filled with all that
is good…
