Good morning my friends this is Carrie Green and this is the morning mindset.

Let me ask you a question what was on your mind the first thing when you woke up

this morning.

Was it about some work-related project you've been working on?

Was it about a situation going on in your family?

Maybe it's a health crisis. Maybe it's some kind of a financial burden that you're

dealing with. If you'll notice we often wake up with something on our mind that is either a pressing issue or something we

are delighted about and in either case it is our responsibility to first of all recognize that our mind is still working.

It's still doing its thing while you're resting and it is trying to process it is trying to make sense of the

things in your life and it can often go the wrong direction while you're resting and

you wake up in the morning and you've got

something on your mind that you just wake up feeling a sense of stress about.

You wake up feeling anxiety or pressure.

And this morning mindset is a gentle and friendly reminder

to help you remember that you need to take control of your mind first thing in the morning.

So no matter what it is that you woke up with, you need to first of all set it aside long enough that you can fill your mind with the truth of who you are, who your God is, and what your role is in this world.

And to help us do that this morning I wanted to look at

Colosians chapter 3 beginning in verse number 1. Paul says if then you have

been raised with Christ seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the

right hand of God.

Now that's all we're going to have time to talk about this morning because there's so much

in there.
