This week in The Bridge (our Adult Bible Fellowship at church) I taught from Phil. 4:4-9 about stopping negative thinking, turning worries into prayer requests, thinking instead about positive things, and doing what we know we ought to do from Scripture. Today I'm posting 10 negative thoughts and the Scriptures that correct them. Perhaps you have some to add; I would love to see them in the comments below.
#1 - When you think "no one loves me" God says "I love you so much I sacrificed everything for you." - Rom 5:8

#3 - When you think "I am completely alone" God says "I will never fail you and I will never abandon you." Heb 13:5
#4 - When you think "I just cannot go on" God says "My grace is what you need, My power works through your weakness." - 1 Cor 12:9
