We all are guilty of negative thinking from time to time, but it’s important to remember that we have the power to stop negativity in its tracks. When you make the decision to put an end to your negative thinking, you set yourself on a path towards a better and more fulfilling life. It may not be easy at first, but with determination and God’s help, you can overcome this challenge. Instead of allowing negativity to consume your thoughts and actions, ask God for wisdom and a softer heart. He will guide you towards positive thinking and behavior.

There is a distinct difference between simply thinking positively and placing your trust in God. By choosing positivity, we attempt to summon our own strength; however, when we trust in God’s guidance and support, incredible things can happen. So don’t hesitate to try relying on Him instead of trying to tackle everything on your own – because when we go about things solo, they often end up falling short of our expectations. Remember that by stopping negativity in its tracks through faith and positive thoughts, you open doors for productivity, joyfulness, and an overall sense of fulfillment in life. ~ Bill Greguska

How Can I Stop Negativity?

Stop Negativity With God’s Help!

Just because others are negative does not mean you have to fall in line with them!

It is not good to take a normal situation and dwell on negative thoughts.

Obsessive thinking and dwelling on negative thoughts will slowly eat away at you. It would be best if you ended negativity by renewing your mind.

• Taking something personally when it was not said or done on purpose.
• Caring too much about what other people think about me
• Worrying about all the negative things in my mind when it drags me down.

Not always, but often, when we overthink things, we tend to get negative thoughts.  To avoid this from happening, you must change the channel that is playing in your brain. It is useless and can become exhausting, hashing and rehashing things in our minds. 

When I begin to worry about what everyone thinks of me, that is a red flag. To me, it means that I need to go in the right direction. It is okay to want others to like us, but there is a big problem if it is more important than trying to please God and do God’s will. ~ Bill Greguska

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

1 Peter 3:18 ESV

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

Galatians 6:1 ESV 

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Please keep a watch on yourself, lest you, too, be tempted.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV 

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Mark 7:20-23 ESV 

And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

1 Samuel 15:23 ESV 

For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.”

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
