Psychiatrist William Glasser discovered in his study of how the brain works that we aren’t controlled by external factors, but by internal desires. Furthermore, our desires are predetermined by our thinking. In other words, the mind is the command center determining conduct. Therefore the critical issue is how we think. That’s why Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart (the heart in Hebrew thought was the center of thinking) for it is the wellspring of life.”

“ Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God change you into a new person by changing the way you think.

—ROMANS 12:2

A Simple Prayer for a Singular Focus:

God, throughout the day I will think about you. I will focus my thoughts on that which is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, excellent and praiseworthy. I will think rightly. I will let the mind of the Master be the master of my mind. Now I pray that you will transform my character by changing the way I think, and make me an offering that is holy, pleasing and acceptable to you inside and out.
