“Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.”
Isaiah 26:3

There is a book that has been quite popular; it is called “Conversations with God.” I have enjoyed this book, but it leads me to ask a question of you, today.

What kind of conversation do you carry on with yourself?

What are you saying to yourself, right now? You may say, “I do not go around talking to myself.” You may not think that you do, but you are continually telling yourself all kinds of things. These inner conversations are, of course, the thoughts you are thinking, the responses you are making, the attitudes you are accepting and projecting to others.

If you find that your inner conversation with yourself is quite negative, you have the power to change and to think differently.

You can change your life by changing the way you think, and feel. You are doing this, day by day, thought by thought, as you watch the kind of conversation you have with yourself. When you replace any tendency in thought to be negative or fearful, or even depressed, with positive, healing, powerful spiritual reminders of who you are with God, you turn around, and raise your thinking.

This is the original, first-century, Christianity meaning of the word “repent.” If you are ever tempted to say to yourself that something looks impossible, turn your thinking around and say to yourself, “I have faith that with God’s help, there is a way for this situation to be solved for the blessing and benefit of everyone.” This is the kind of conversation with yourself that will help you get rid of worry and anxiety. This kind of positive, self-conversation will help you release the situation into God’s care, and to know that in ways which may not now be apparent, right solution is coming into your life with God’s speed.

Any time you find yourself thinking in terms of weakness or ill health, change your thoughts to positive prayers of life and healing. The very cells of your body will listen and accept God’s ideas of life and strength. Thinking in this way: “I know and believe that the healing, renewing life of God is in me, right now. I am the healthy, free, perfect child of God. The life of God in me, that created me in the beginning, is re-creating me – healing, restoring and renewing every part. I live well, in the eternal life of God.”

Sometimes, a person will carry on conversations with themselves that downgrade their own worth and ability. They may think of themselves as lacking in ability, and even, more often, as inferior to others. No matter how capable we are, or how much we are appreciated by other people, the kind of thoughts that we are thinking about ourselves will tend to negate it, at least in our own mind.

As each person has a unique fingerprint and unique DNA, so each person is unique in the artistry of God.

When self-doubt enters our internal conversation that we are holding with ourselves, say instead: “God created me as me. I like myself. I am the all-wise, all-loving, all-conquering child of God. I reign supreme in all the affairs of mind and body.”

Certainly, a conversation like this is a far cry from thoughts of inferiority and unworthiness. But it is also the truth of God about us. Jesus told us this was the truth about us. The more we think about and affirm our spiritual nature, the more able we are to express this nature, to be the kind of person we were created to be. God created us in God’s own image and likeness – and God loves us!

“The mind of error-filled human is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.”
Romans 8:5-7

If you find yourself speaking conversations to yourself of being down and depressed, talk to yourself in terms of joy. You will be surprised, even shocked, at how fast you will be able to turn it around. It is not natural for you to be down or depressed. Everything in you responds to thoughts and ideas that lift your thinking, that turn your thoughts away from darkness, that help you, like the Psalmist, to lift up your eyes unto the hills.

What kind of conversation are you carrying on with yourself? What are you saying to yourself right now? Make it a good conversation, make it a true conversation, for the kind of ideas you give yourself, the kind of ideas you listen to, make all the difference in the kind of person you are, and in the kind of experiences you have. Keep your mind stayed on God; keep your mind stayed on God’s truth, thought by thought. Let your inner conversation be as with the Christ.

Never put yourself down, instead LIFT yourself UP in every inside conversation.
