How do you get negative thoughts out of your head? Anxious thoughts. Fearful thoughts. Lustful thoughts. Critical thoughts. Intrusive thoughts that seem to show up without invitation. Most of us have asked the question: "How do I stop thinking about this?" In Philippians 4:6-9, the Apostle Paul gives us a powerful biblical strategy for winning the battle of the mind.
