When we feel uncertain, unsure and faced with obstacles we, as Christians, are charged with believing in God and his plans for us. These Bible verses for positive thinking can help us remain positive and trust in Him.
Positive thinking works because it is a God-given spiritual truth.
We are encouraged to examine the things that are true, honorable, just, pure, beautiful, and commendable—and to linger on them. Trying to think positively every day of the week is difficult. It may be downright tough at times, especially during tough circumstances.

What Does the Bible Say About Positive Thinking?
Psalm 37:5
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
God wants us to learn how to switch out bad ideas for good ones and to learn to fill our minds with His truth, His love, and His peace.
Genuine faith inspires strong trust In God. It entails genuinely trusting Him and putting His words into action. When you do this, God grants you rest, which is truly comforting.

Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
We tend to concentrate too much on what’s unpleasant and chaotic.
During the storm, we tend to disregard the presence of Jesus in the boat with us in favor of concentrating on the wind and waves, much as the disciples did.
Faith changes our perspective and fosters an optimistic view regardless of our circumstances. Faith makes us concentrate on the journey rather than the problem.
Jesus is always working to strengthen our faith. Living as a Christian entails traveling with Christ. He shapes our life in every situation so that we might grow more like Him.
When we are certain that He is molding us, we prevent being disheartened about impermanent things. We become glad that our troubles are not intended to harm us but to strengthen our faith.
Remember that you are never alone.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Our struggles might make us feel depressed and alone. But we are never on our own! Jesus is constantly by our side.

God’s purpose for our existence includes perpetual joy.
Colossians 2:17
things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
Why does God value your constant joy, regular prayer, and continued gratitude? It’s because it is difficult to be joyful and grateful while being negative at the same time.
It is difficult to be joyful and grateful while being negative at the same time. Instead of whining or behaving selfishly when you feel like it, or when you catch your mood becoming dampened, pray to God with gratitude and delight.

Proverbs 16:24

Though the majority of mankind now understands the value of positive thinking, they are neglecting a crucial component of real pleasure and success: our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

God’s salvation and love are still available to us. And we have the promise of spending eternity with Him.
The Bible claims that the peace of Christ “transcends all understanding,” meaning that we may have peace in Jesus even though the rest of the world would find it impossible to do so.

In prayer, submit your problems to God.
