If asked, what occupied your thoughts today?
If the answer is "I don't know", it is not an honest answer. There is a theme to the thought life of each day. Often the thought are ensnared in problem solving and other times they are involved in fanaticizing about a better past or an impossible future.
What does the Word of God say? That the thoughts must agree with God and that thoughts must be taken captive and led away. This means two things: 1) You must be aware of your thoughts 2) You must be in control of your thoughts. This is only possibloe supernaturally.
Soldier of The Cross, this is not difficult. It is a matter of yielding to the Lover of Your Soul. You must agree with God, and this happens in prayer. You must tell Him that you want your mind to be His - after all, that is one of the elements of the first commandment. Then, you must tell Him that you are available to be changed in any way that will make it possible for you to have thoughts in line with His.
Is there some other way of life you consider to be higher than this? Of course not.
Soldier, you can not be what you can not see.
Are you able to see yourself agreeing with God? Are you able to see the Indwelling Holy Spirit reminding you and empowering you in the discipline of the thought life?
Surely there is nothing higher. No reason to refuse? After all, it is for your good.
Ask Him to lead you and to let you see what is really happening. Ask Him aloud.
