Bible Verse for Today
“Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name” (Psalm 86:11)
When you want to grow stronger, attain a new level, prosper, begin to fear the Lord, or become successful, you have to learn to use your mind effectively.
Your mind is a tool that can be disciplined. You can tame the mind, or teach it to focus on a single direction rather than vacillate in thought. If you achieve this, you can use your mind to achieve great success and to keep it in the way of the Lord. Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.”
By focusing your mind on the Lord, you are disciplining it to dwell on the word of God concerning you and what you are doing. Focusing your mind on the word attracts not only prosperity but also good success (Joshua 1:8). Take your mind off anything and everything that can distract you, and focus on God.
Moving with people who love the Lord can help make it easy for you to discipline your mind and focus on God for success.

God, I discipline my mind for success, and I wipe out all negative thoughts that would harm my life. I think only of success; my mind will think of success alone and not of failure. All I do today will be successful in Jesus name. Amen.
