Hey everyone, today I am going to pray every hour on the hour for both the families of those affected by 9/11 and the family of Charlie Kirk (don’t look up the video…). If you would like to join me I know they and the Lord would greatly appreciate it. This isn’t to focus on the tragedies that have happened but to gain an eternal perspective that none of us are promised tomorrow. Tell your friends and family you love them every chance you get, share your faith with everyone who will listen, and love people the way Jesus did. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ I love you all

Psalm 1 thoughts

Psalm 1:2 calls us to meditate on God’s law “day and night.” Neuroscience shows repeated thoughts reshape the brain (neuroplasticity). How might this kind of meditation rewire the way you respond to stress, temptation, or fear?

@William Frick Absolutely, that’s a powerful insight! Consistently filling your mind with Scripture rewires your responses, making it easier to choose God’s way over instinctive reactions. What’s a verse you could start meditating on daily, if you don't already, to build those healthier thought patterns?

@William Frick That’s a solid foundation. The word translated “meditate” in Joshua 1:8 literally means to murmur or mutter under your breath, not just think about Scripture, but keep it active on your lips until it shapes the inner dialogue. That’s why the promise attached isn’t just about success in general, but about walking in alignment with God’s design for life. You’re right, starting your day this way sets the tone for everything else.
