PRAYER FOR A CLEAR HEAD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, please grant me a clear head at all times
Protect me from all thoughts of evil and crime
Let me never forget to wear the helmet of salvation
Allow the armor of faith to shield me from temptations.
Let me discern whenever I am being attacked
Let me pursue peace and love to fight back
Give me a clear head and cleanse my heart always
I receive the wisdom you give to those who obeys.

How often do you ask the Lord to give you a clear head? Sometimes when I forget do to so, my mind can spin and listen to all the lies being thrown at me by the enemy. In Ephesians 6, we are warned that we are not dealing with enemies that we can see and touch but with unseen forces and powers. The battlefield starts in the mind and if we are not aware of it and not exercise our authority over the devil, our soul and spirit can be literally attacked. The apostle Paul tells us to clear our head at all times and wear the armor of faith and love. We must protect our minds with the confidence we have in Christ.

But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. – 2 Timothy 4:5(NLT)
KEEP A CLEAR MIND
A poem and essay by ILMA
A follower of Christ keeps his mind clear
He is to walk in love so he can overcome fear
When he constantly focuses on his commands
He will successfully manage life’s demands.
Don’t be afraid to suffer for the Lord
He gives strength as you struggle in this world
Work at telling the Good News to one another
Fully carry out your ministry to your sisters and brothers.

It is a novelty these days to have a clear mind. With the rise of social media and many different companies that try to sell their products to us, we are bombarded with so much information and images. These doesn’t help our minds, body and spirit. The enemy wants to distract us from focusing on what the Lord wants us to do. The bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that we don’t have a god of confusion but of peace. So when our minds are confused, Satan is surely working on us to steal our peace.
The antidote to a cluttered mind is to read Scriptures and allow it to speak to you. God renews your mind when you let him.
