Friends, brothers and sisters, you are not the only one who is troubled with wandering thoughts.

Our mind is extremely roving, but the will is the mistress of all our faculties that recalls our stray thoughts and carry them to God as their final end.

If the mind is not sufficiently controlled and disciplined at our morning, afternoon and evening engagement in devotion with God, it contracts certain bad habits associated with wandering, remember these may be difficult to overcome as the mind has the ability to draw us even against our will to worldly things.

The remedy for this is to humbly confess our faults and beg God's mercy and help.

1 John 1 Vs 9-10: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

A Christian brother called Lawrence said that a genuine examination and confession of those areas in which we have done wrong is a remedy for a wandering heart. Our natural state is to deceive ourselves thinking we have no sin but confession, however, is the alternative to denying sin and is a characteristic of a person who walks in the light.

The cure for a wandering mind is to recognize in those moments just how horrendous your sin is before a holy God, and then confess it before Him.

Start this day by confessing not only your sin, but God's unwavering goodness in your life and you will be richely blessed in Jesus mighty name.
