“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” (Isaiah 26:3 NLT)
Have you ever had a bad dream from which you couldn’t wake up? Once you realize you are dreaming, you are more likely to be able to manage your thoughts. You can prod yourself into a semi-conscious state by reminding yourself that it is just a dream, and these thoughts are not real.
During a mind storm, we are covered by dark clouds, whipped by our fears, and flooded by hopelessness. We can choose to stay exposed in this storm, or we can move to find shelter. Just like in a bad dream, once we realize that our thoughts are merely based on our current, limited perspective--we can prod ourselves into a state of higher consciousness.
God is the best shelter during every kind of storm. When we shift our focus to God, when we trust Him, we are lifted up into a state of perfect peace.
