Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the word, prayers, in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

Today's daily goes hand-in-hand with yesterdays. So if you haven't listened to that show, at some, go back and do that. We talked about worry and how so often we dwell

0:21.7

on things and it wrecks us mentally. And today is the biblical solution to all that dwelling. I love

0:27.3

how the Bible just straight up tells us what to do, don't you? I need somebody to tell me what to do,

0:32.4

but I need it from a biblical perspective. So let's get right into a place. A lot of us could use some joy in our

0:38.5

thought life, our mind. The mind, we've talked about it on here before, but it's really where

1:35.8

But this time, the second son was about to attempt to do the jump his brother just did.

1:40.9

And for some reason, you can see this son in the video. He's getting ready. He's

1:46.2

sizing it up like his brother did. But he just, there's a different look. And so he's kind of blowing out,

1:53.1

you know, and he's kind of rocking back and forth on his feet and his arms are going back and

1:57.0

forth. And it's a little bit longer buildup, and you keep thinking he's about to do it,

2:01.2

and he never does. And finally, he just looks at the video and he says, I can't do it. Now, I have
