1 " As you wander on through life, brother, whatever be your goal, keep your eye upon the donut and not upon the hole. "
― Joyce Meyer , Battlefield of the Mind Devotional: 100 Insights That Will Change the Way You Think

3 " character simply by listening to their conversation. The more loving our words and actions are toward others, the more loving and kind our thoughts will be. "
4 " For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. —EPHESIANS 6:12 "
5 " Where the mind goes the man follows. Keep your mind going in the right direction, and your life will catch up with it. "
6 " Remember that a negative mind produces a negative life. "
7 " God is perfection. Nothing we can ever do would be good enough to satisfy God’s perfection. Only Jesus, the Perfect One, is good enough. Nothing but our faith in Him makes us acceptable to God. "
8 " This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success” (Joshua 1:8). "
9 " A person who has their faith firmly planted in God cannot be defeated. "
10 " God, I want to walk as close to You as I possibly can. Help me keep my mind on healthy, positive things. Remind me that I am loved—totally and completely loved—by You, and help me to go with Your flow. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. "
11 " A humble mind enables us to take a back seat and wait for God to move us to the front. "
12 " We are to keep our eyes on Jesus and His ability, not on ourselves and our disabilities. "

14 " Too often, we Christians expect life to be perfect and for everything to go smoothly for us. We expect success, happiness, joy, peace, and everything else. When we’re thwarted, we pout or complain. Although God does want us to have a good life, there will be times when we must be patient and endure not getting our way. These disappointments test our character and level of spiritual maturity. They actually show whether or not we truly are ready for promotion. "

It is in this manner that you can effectively use your weapon of the Word to tear down strongholds. "
17 " You need to depend on God to show you things in such a way that you know—with an inner certainty—that what has been revealed to your mind is correct. "
