I know the plans Ihave for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, plans to give you a hope and a future.-Jeremiah 29:11
How many of you remember the Scrubbing Bubbles commercials? The tail end of the commercial showed a bunch of animated bubbles circling around the drain. 
If were not careful, we too can experience the same thing. What do I mean? Often times, because of circumstances in our lives, we start dwelling on negative thoughts. I call this “circling the drain!”
The longer we think about the circumstance the more these thoughts enter our minds. Before we know it, the thoughts consume every part of our being. Maybe you lost your job, received bad news from the doctor, were injured, etc. Whatever the case, we begin to listen to the things the enemy tells us, instead of what God’s word says to us. At this point, worry sets in, which adds a whole new dimension to things. In the book of Philippians, we read:
Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for what he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which surpasses anything we can understand. His peace, will guard your heart and minds as you live in Christ Jesus our Lord. -verses 6-7
Are you interested in finding out more about God? Most of us have at least one Bible in the house. One of the ways that God speaks to us, is through His word (Bible). When we read & meditate on the word, he speaks to us. The first time it happens, we think to ourselves, “Did I just think that?” Maybe you did, but maybe, it was God. Rather than “circling the drain”, look up some verses in the Bible that address your situation. The Bible has an answer for everything that you’re experiencing. You can highlight the verses that speak to you, and then speak them aloud over your circumstance.
