Life has a way of throwing obstacles our way, doesn’t it? For as long as I can remember, my life was a whirlwind of chaos and dysfunction. I remember feeling all alone in my crazy, dysfunctional life, like an isolated island surrounded by a stormy sea. It was during one of these solitary moments, in the depths of my despair, that I reached out to God with a desperate plea. “God, why don’t you send someone to help me?” I cried out, longing for a lifeline, a savior, in human form.

To my surprise, one day, God replied. His words were simple yet profound: “Because I want you to depend on me only.” Those nine words shook me to my core, initiating a journey that reshaped my entire worldview.

God’s message was clear. He sought a closer relationship with me, one where my reliance was on His unwavering strength and infinite wisdom, not on the fleeting and often flawed promises of humans. This journey wasn’t about self-reliance; rather, it was about divine dependence.

Depending on God doesn’t mean we negate the importance of people in our lives, but rather, we align our ultimate faith and trust in the One who created us. Humans, bless their hearts, are clothed in suits of flesh and are susceptible to their own struggles and failings.

We’ve all experienced going to someone for help, only to realize they are grappling with their own issues. Their advice, while well-intentioned, might be colored by their own life’s messiness. Each of us is on our journey, and sometimes, the blind truly can lead the blind. However, God exists outside of this clutter; His wisdom is unadulterated, His love, boundless. Depending on Him means finding an anchor in the storm, a sanctuary where chaos cannot persist.

Human connections are valuable, and community support is indispensable. Yet, there are profound reasons why divine dependence surpasses human reliance, especially in times of turmoil. No matter how well-meaning someone might be, everyone has their own set of issues. Their perspective is inevitably limited. When you lean wholly on someone whose life might be in shambles, you risk getting advice born from their pain, fear, or misunderstanding. People come and go. They may move, change, or simply become preoccupied with their own lives. However, God’s presence is constant. His support is unwavering and eternal. Human understanding is finite. We see only a tiny fraction of the whole picture. God’s perspective is infinite. He sees the end from the beginning and knows exactly what’s best for us in every situation.

Transitioning from human to divine dependence is a process, often entailing significant inner work. Here’s how you can start. Open a consistent line of communication with God. Praying isn’t just about asking for help, but also about listening. Pour out your heart, and then be still, receptive to His guidance. The Bible is a treasure trove of wisdom, comfort, and guidance. Regularly immersing yourself in His word helps solidify your trust in Him. Reflect on God’s promises throughout the Bible. His words can serve as a fortress of strength and assurance. God’s timing is perfect, though it may not align with our own. Trust that His delays are not denials but are often meant for our growth and preparation. Engage with others who are also striving to deepen their dependence on God. A supportive faith community can provide much-needed encouragement and perspective.

As I embarked on my journey of divine dependence, I noticed a profound transformation within myself. My incessant need for human validation waned, replaced by a serene confidence in God’s plan. The same people whom I once sought to fill my void of loneliness now became companions on my journey, not saviors. I found peace in knowing that my ultimate support system lay in God, who is infallible and always present.

In a world teeming with uncertainties and human imperfections, the greatest solace lies in depending on God. His love is constant, His wisdom infinite, and His presence ever-assuring. While cherishing the relationships we forge with our fellow humans, let us remember to anchor our faith and hope in Him. After all, it is through divine dependence that we discover the profound depth of His love and the immeasurable strength He provides.

So, the next time life feels overwhelmingly crazy and dysfunctional, instead of asking for a human helper whose own life might be just as messy, turn to God. Depend on Him only, and watch how He transforms your loneliness into a profound, secure relationship with Him.

In a world bustling with distractions and conflicting messages, it’s easy to get caught up in “stinking thinking,” where we dwell on negative or false thoughts. Romans 12:2 urges us to shift away from this mindset: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

I remember vividly when, in 2012, God spoke to me, promising to renew my mind. At that time, I was engulfed in thoughts that led me astray, making me feel anxious, fearful, and disconnected from the truth of God’s love. This promise kickstarted a profound journey based on Romans 12:2, a journey where I learned that transformation is not a one-time event but a continual process.

The Battle of the Mind

The mind is a battlefield. Too often, we find ourselves plagued by thoughts that aren’t grounded in truth. These can arise from societal pressures, past experiences, or even the devil whispering lies into our ears. This “stinking thinking” manifests as self-doubt, resentment, fear, and hopelessness. Just as Romans 12:2 suggests, the world’s pattern can trap us in these negative thought cycles, confirming our worst fears and insecurities rather than uplifting us.

I had to confront my own stinking thinking, realizing how these thoughts contradicted God’s promises. For so long, I accepted them as my reality, which hindered me from recognizing God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will.

The Renewal Process

God’s promise to renew my mind was the beginning of a transformational journey. Embracing Romans 12:2, I committed to the process, understanding it wouldn’t be an overnight change but a daily dedication to choosing the right thoughts.

The first step was identifying and rejecting the lies. Whenever a negative thought crept in, I challenged it with scripture and prayer, seeking God’s truth instead. For instance, when the thought “I am unworthy” emerged, I countered it with Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Meditating on God’s Word was crucial. Immersing myself in scriptures that spoke of God’s love and promises helped rewire my thinking. I began to see myself through God’s eyes, recognizing my worth and potential.

Chosen Thoughts

Choosing to think the right thoughts is a deliberate, ongoing effort. It’s easy to slip back into old patterns, especially when faced with challenges or setbacks. However, understanding that our thoughts shape our reality is liberating. By aligning our minds with God’s truth, we actively participate in our transformation.

One practical approach is gratitude. Focusing on God’s blessings rather than dwelling on shortcomings shifts our perspective. Keeping a gratitude journal or simply taking a moment each day to thank God for His goodness reinforces positive thinking.

Another vital aspect is community. Surrounding ourselves with fellow believers who encourage and support us is essential. They can offer perspective, pray for us, and help us stay grounded in God’s truth.

Encouragement and Compassion

If you’re struggling with stinking thinking, know that you’re not alone. Everyone faces battles of the mind, and it’s important to approach this journey with compassion for yourself. Be patient—transformation takes time. Celebrate small victories and trust that God is working within you, even when progress seems slow.

God’s promise to renew our minds is a testament to His love and commitment to our well-being. He desires us to live abundantly, free from the chains of negative thinking. By continuously seeking His guidance and immersing ourselves in His Word, we open ourselves up to a life filled with peace, joy, and purpose.

As you embark on this journey, remember the transformative power of God’s love. Romans 12:2 is not just a directive; it’s a promise. A promise that through the renewal of your mind, you will experience God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life. Embrace this promise with an open heart, and watch as He transforms your thinking, renewing your mind day by day.
