It has been many weeks since the incident, but those negative thoughts have not left my mind.</p> <p>I wish I could turn back on time and plan that day differently. I wonder if I should have restrained my thoughts. Should I have not stood up for my loved one? Should I still be feeling so low? Maybe now everyone dislikes me and is gossiping behind my back.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Then, this morning those negative thoughts flooded back again. I grabbed the Word of God -the black leather Book filled with encouraging words written personally for you and I in our lowest state.</p> <p> </p> <p>Isn’t it amazing how God speaks to us right when we are willing to listen to HIM speak to us? Until we don’t stop thinking and start reading the Word, negativity can entrap our minds. It can consume us and ruin our fellowship with God and man.</p> <p> </p> <p>Negative thoughts can drag us into this wallowing pit of anguish and worthlessness. Only Christ can bring us back on the top of a joyful mountain.</p> <p> </p> <div class="tweet-box ctt-box-design-4 ctt-color-1 "> <a href="http://ctt.ec/o2g08" target="_blank" > <p class="ctt-font-original">Negative thoughts may drag us to a pit, but Christ can place us on top of a Joyful mountain</p> <div class="click-to-tweet"><i></i><span class="cta-pr">Click To Tweet</span></div> </a> </div> <p>As I was meditating on the Word of God, the Spirit of the Lord led me to this particular verse that I am so familiar with yet forgot to ponder upon these days.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <h4><strong>Let us look at Philippians 4:8 (AMP)- Today verse on Negative thoughts</strong></h4> <p>Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable <em>and</em> worthy of respect,</p> <p>whatever is right <em>and</em> confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure <em>and</em> wholesome, whatever is lovely <em>and</em> brings peace,</p> <p>whatever is admirable <em>and</em> of good repute;</p> <p>if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,</p> <p>think <em>continually</em> on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/dianasdiaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Verses-for-Negative-thoughts-1.png?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="2594" data-permalink="https://dianasdiaries.com/2017/08/02/5-assuring-verses-memorize-when-filled-negative-thoughts/verses-for-negative-thoughts-1/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/dianasdiaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Verses-for-Negative-thoughts-1.png?fit=735%2C1102&ssl=1" data-orig-size="735,1102" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Verses for Negative thoughts (1)" data-image-description="<p>Ever felt how to overcome those negative thoughts?
