My great challenge is to keep my think tank full of clean gas. It’s hard to keep the dirty fuels out of it. The right questions help me. What’s in your think tank?

Let good questions roam in your mental home. (Philippians 4:8) Refuse to ask yourself self-tormenting questions like, “Why did this happen?” (1 Peter 5:7) Instead ask yourself, “What good can come from this thing that looks and feels so bad to me?” (Romans 8:28)

Then active the God-given search engines (Matthew 6:33) in your think tank to seek out positive possibilities that can come from the things that bring you pain. Post those positives all over the social media of your mind and scroll them day and night. If you do that your think tank will fill up and overflow with the free gas of hopethoughts.

The fuel that you burn in your mind, little by little determines your destiny. Always keep your think tank full of premium gasoline. (Matthew 8:13)

The pure fuel of innocence often flashes in the chaos of your mind, but it’s too often ignored, resisted, and replaced with guilt producing thoughts. (Matthew 5:8) A think tank full of the clean gas of hope continually notices and delights in the simple joys that abound all around us.

To fill your think tank with hope, you don’t have to reinvent light. (2 Corinthians 4:6) Simply cultivate God’s uplifting ideas until they take flight and flood you with encouraging insights and spiritual attitude-lifters.

Power your mind with the hum of uplifting thoughts. Sift through your inner noise for sparks worth igniting. Snuff out deceitful schemes while embracing worthy dreams. (Romans 12:2) It’s vital that you know how to gas up your think thank with thoughts that glow with love’s pure light and fire you up with Spirit-led ponderings (Romans 8:14) that always lift you higher.

Make your think tank a thank tank. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Fill your mind with the free gas of gratitude and appreciation. (Ephesians 5:20)

If you fuel your thinking with encouragement, (Hebrews 10:24-25) you’ll find that’s it’s much easier to cope with the challenges and difficulties of life. If you pump your think tank full of negativity, (2 Timothy 2:20-26) you’ll walk the mental plank of confusion and sink into an inner sea that drowns your satisfaction.

Avoid religious autopilot. Be led by God the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:14) The pages of the Bible are free gas cards to fill your tank with faith. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
