A Prayer to Stop Being a Prisoner to My Own Thoughts

Father God,
We love you, and we’re sorry for not guarding our minds and hearts as well as we should. You tell us in Proverbs 4:23 to “guard our hearts above all else.” In order to guard our hearts and minds, we must be aware of all the thoughts we are thinking on a daily basis. Forgive us for mindlessly going about our day and life without doing anything to protect what enters our minds. Please prompt us throughout the day, reminding us to be aware and alert about what we are thinking. Help us to surrender all the thoughts that come at us each day. Help us guard what we listen to, what we watch, and who we associate ourselves with that may be allowing thoughts that are against your Word to enter our minds and hearts. Reveal to us any thoughts we need to destroy in our lives. Teach us to always guard ourselves and to be alert to the enemy prowling around, seeking to destroy us. Thank you for this wisdom from your Word. Thank you for being a good Father and instructing us to live a life of peace with thoughts that are everlasting and fulfilling, not the thoughts of the world that are temporary and unfulfilling. Thank you that we have the power to cast down negative thoughts and bring them all to you so that we no longer have to be a prisoner to them.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
