We are asked to keep our thoughts pure, but our minds are often racing in the other direction. Affirmations are a mindful Christian approach to reining in your thoughts when you notice negativity, unrighteous anger and other bad attitudes.

Use them as a script to turn around your thinking, repeating as needed. Here’s a few affirmations to use:

• Let compassion lead me.
• Holy Spirit, speak through me.
• I choose to renew my mind.
• Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.

Deliberating breaking into your thinking pattern will help.
