Summary
Today we will explore how to have a peaceful thought-life, as we continue our week on transcendent peace. The Bible speaks very specifically about our minds, and how important it is to have control over our thoughts. Today we’ll dive a little deeper into those biblical concepts, and I hope we each walk away better equipped to face life’s trials with the transcendent peace of God.
Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 8:6, and today's worship is Agnus Dei / King of Kings by Hillsong Worship.

Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast, a peaceful thought-life.
I hope that God was illuminating some of your thoughts today as you prayed. The Holy Spirit has this incredible ability to reveal so lovingly things that are holding us back from the fullness of life in him.
If there was a specific thought that came to mind today, I want to encourage you to share it with someone close to you. Shedding light on a harmful thought through a conversation with someone you trust is a powerful way to find more freedom.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.

| 0:37.4 | in life, or a source of immense internal struggle and despair. |
| 0:42.3 | It's our thoughts that the enemy tries to affect with half-truths and outright lives. |
| 0:48.4 | It's our thoughts that are a gateway to our emotions and actions. |
| 0:52.7 | And it's our thoughts, our loving Heavenly Father longs |
| 0:55.9 | to influence, redeem, and renew that we might experience everlasting peace. Isaiah 263 says, |
| 1:04.1 | You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. |
| 1:10.2 | Do you long for perfect peace today? Do you long to keep your mind stayed on you, because he trust in you. Do you long for perfect peace today? Do you long to keep |
| 1:13.9 | your mind stayed on the inexpressible excellencies of Jesus? It all starts with trust. When we allow |
| 1:21.4 | our minds to stray into worry, doubt, fear, reservation, and lies, it's because we don't trust that God is who he says he is, |
| 1:30.3 | or that he will do what he says he'll do. If we truly trusted God with our relationships, |
| 1:35.7 | we wouldn't spend so much energy mulling over conversations that could have been better or different. |
| 1:41.5 | If we truly trusted God as the perfect provider of our finances and possessions, |

| 1:52.3 | available, or not available to us. If we truly trusted God with our futures, we wouldn't devote |
| 1:58.9 | so much of our minds to playing out every scenario |
| 2:01.7 | that could possibly happen. And if we truly trusted God that we are loved, light, enjoyable, |
