"Make me your default focus. Try to be come conscious of what you think about your mind is at rest. Many people's minds gravitate toward worries,work, plans, food, pleasure seeking. Some of these thoughts are useful, while others are not. Most people are not very aware of their thoughts during their 'down times,' but I am quite aware of them. I want you to train your mind to turn toward Me more and more. Think about who I am -- Creator, Savior, King of kings. Ponder also my amazing, unending love for you.
Training your mind to make Me your default Focus is not easy. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in this challenging endeavor, and He will. However, you must be prepared to cooperate with Him. You need to spend some time in quietness -- away from television, the radio, and other distracting noise. community with Me frequently throughout the day. Using a short prayer such as, "Jesus, draw me close to You," can help you return your focus to Me time after time. Also, it is vital to saturate your mind with Scripture, which is all about Me. As you practice these disciplines, you will gradually be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Psalm 8:3-4 "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"
Psalm 119:11 "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sing against You."
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing, and perfect will."
