Throw away those ‘trash-can thoughts’

Sawyer

One day at Sunday School my stomach was really hurting. At the beginning, I was only thinking bad thoughts about how much it hurt.

But after a few minutes, I realized that I was thinking “trash-can thoughts”—thoughts that weren’t true, so I could throw them away. Any bad thought is a trash-can thought, because it doesn’t come from God. God is all good and only gives me good thoughts like that I’m loved and that I’m safe.

I knew that those trash-can thoughts were never really mine, and so what I did to get rid of the trash-can thoughts is I hit them with a good thought like “God loves me” or “God is taking care of me.” And not very long after that, I was fine.

Thank you, God, for my healing!
