When we start the process of renewing our minds, it's OK when we mess up. God knows we're not perfect and He's always there to help us get back on track.
Unfortunately, the devil also knows we're not perfect, and he does his best to remind us every step of the way.
We can be going along, serving God, doing good, stepping out in faith and then all of a sudden, without there being any justification for it, we'll have a day or week when we have an attack on our mind. Satan will tell us that we're failures, that we're not good enough, that God doesn't love us, the list goes on and on.
Thankfully, God's Word tells us just what to do in a situation like this. Second Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive and into obedience to God. So when the devil tries to lie to you, go to the Word and find the truth that refutes that lie.
When those doubts come your way, don't get discouraged. Bring them in line with God's Word. It works every time!
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:5
Prayer Starter: God, I won't let the lies and doubts that the enemy sends my way get me off track. Instead, I'll believe what Your Word says and take those thoughts captive!

Another good one to remember! I've been having the worst thoughts lately and I'm trying to block them out. Truth be told, I'm so on edge, so scared and lost, since hearing from my husband recently. I just want him home. I know God is for marriage. I'm just so worried for my husband, and his hardened heart.

Don't try in your own power Each time one pops up, say "no satan!" & either say somthing from the word that counter acts that's scripture, or google "scripture about...." And find a scripture and then speak it out load & maybe even memorize it! We can get through sister Keep praising God & doing good to others while we wait & grow during this time
