Psalm 39:4-5

[4] “O LORD, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
[5] Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!

COT:
Philippians 4:8
“…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

take every thought captive…and make it obedient to Christ… 2 Corinthians 10:5

Let’s work to get really good at realizing when we are daydreaming about guilt, mistakes, slights (real or imagined), and other dysphoria where I am the victim… and bounce out of that mindset. Pivot and shift to virtuous positive thinking.
