Sunday Morning Coffee Musings: Taking My Mind Back and Requesting To Be Released

Asking to be released from the grips of something that has consumed me at times and taken up more space in my mind than it needed to, is something that never occured to me until yesterday. I had the opportunity to do something I had been wanting to do but, I thought about it. Prayed about it and thought about it and checked back with prayer again this morning. I just don’t care as much anymore as I used to about it. And with that, I feel more free from it.

I could have spoken up for some people but, I thought long and hard, counted up the cost. I remember speaking up for people that left me hanging. They left me standing there by myself. And I looked at the people that I would be speaking up for, the ones that come to me but never speak up out of fear of the big bad wolf being upset with them. They don’t want to lose that person’s so call love. They don’t want the person to be mad at them. They value the relationship over what is right. I did not feel it wise to stick my neck out for people who would not back me publically. So, I didn’t.

As I was listening to Michael Beckwith talk about taking the mind back I started to think about what my mind needed to be taken back from. The first thing I thought about was situation I mentioned above. Yes, God! I need my mind back and my time redeemed! I was preparing for bed and thought of a few more things I could take my mind back from.

Here are a few I am willing to share:

I take back my mind from childhood bullying

I take back my mind from political warfare

I take back my mind from bad relationships of all kinds

I take back my mind from wanting relationships with people I will never have

Taking back your mind is a process. There are many ways to do it. If you want to hear what I was listening to, it’s below.
