When life makes your situation seem impossible, you have to have a strategy ready. Here it is.
Self-brain surgery tip #4:
The more you think about something, the more easily it returns to your mind in the future. Synapses that fire together, wire together. This is why negative thinking is so harmful: it automates negativity in your brain. Change it to something positive!

What to Do When Your Brain Won't Let You Sleep
One night last year, there was a terrible storm, and I couldn't sleep. After hours of tossing and turning, I remembered a song from Matt Redman called Songs in the Night. One of the lines is, "So when I am in the storm, Lord the storm is not in me."
Then I remembered Psalm 77, in which Asaph handles anxiety and insomnia by singing... songs in the night!
Most of the time when I can't sleep, though, it's not because of a storm outside. Usually, it's in my own brain.
Join me for quiet time this morning and we'll get our minds right for the coming day.
We finish with prayer and a song from Highlands Worship, Jesus You Alone.

Self-Brain Surgery for Doubt (S5E70)

Sunday Aug 14, 2022
Doubt isn't your enemy. You just have to change your mind about it.
Self-brain surgery tip #8:
Doubt is not a symptom of faithlessness. It says, “I don’t know,” & is a fork in the road. Fear says, “No.” Faith says, “Yes.” Doubt isn’t weakness; it’s an opportunity to trust in the Yes.
Scripture:
Romans 4:18
