“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:13)
Even the Christian can become overwhelmed with their thoughts and make them their reality. Facts are defined as objective information that can be supported with evidence. Facts don’t change but emotions do. On the other hand, emotions are a subjective response to stimuli and are a contrast to facts. For instance, several people can experience the same thing at the same time and everyone can have a different emotional response. Yet, that won’t change the facts of what actually occurred. In actuality, our leading scripture means to “get yourself together,” gather your thoughts, calm your emotions, and stay present. In a spiritual context, it can be explained as follows: “Somehow or other, you appear to have fallen to pieces, there is no cohesion about you, and you are sure that you are not in a right condition. Well, then, our text is the very message you need; and it means, first, concentrate all your powers and faculties to the service of God, and the worship of God [and remove the hindrances that have overwhelmed your thoughts]. “Gird up the loins of your mind.” Charles Spurgeon In addition to prayer, here are some everyday practices that can help you “gird up the loins of your mind.”
