Quick takeaways

  • Being intentional in choosing what you think about can help stop making up hypothetical situations in your head and instead focus on something positive or turn thoughts into a prayer.
  • Being equally yoked in a relationship means being with someone who shares your deep faith in Jesus, and while differences in theology or denominations can be worked through, both individuals should be committed believers.

Avoiding Entertaining Negative Thoughts

To stop making up situations in your head, it's important to recognize that you have control over what you think about. Rather than getting caught up in hypothetical scenarios, slow down and acknowledge those thoughts, but don't entertain them. Refocus your mind on something positive or turn the thoughts into a prayer. Be intentional in choosing what you think about.
