Years ago school buses had governors. I rode in one from Las Vegas to Carson City. It could not go more than 45 mph. It was a long hot ride. When we hide God’s word in our heart, it will act as a governor with our thoughts.

Two of our flesh’s favorite past times are to engage in negative dialogues, or trying to figure things out ahead of time. Have you ever played past conversations over in your mind? Have you ever assumed something would go a certain way and it didn’t? 

I have a mentee who wrote, ‘My paranoid thoughts are really loud now. Starting to think of all the things they told me that they probably didn’t mean, all the things they probably say about me to each other when I’m not there.’ Can you hear the fear? Can you feel her emotional fatigue?
