\u201cIt happened again,\u201d my son said. He came through the kitchen door and slumped on the corner chair, the household conversation place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAgain?\u201d I asked. I wiped my floury hands on a checked towel and pushed a pizza crust into the oven. \u201cWhat did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n

My son relayed the conversation. I winced. Then my mama-defense kicked in. I tried to push it away while we talked.<\/p>\n

My son had a friend who consistently spoke unkindly to him. Put-downs. Insults. Words and jokes that held sting. My normally confident boy was beginning to bruise.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t let this go on,\u201d I said. \u201cIn a friendship, we sometimes have to speak truth in love. And the truth is, a friend shouldn\u2019t speak to you like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

My son and I talked about non-combative ways to handle things. But while we were talking, an interesting truth moved through my mind.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I allow the same type of negativity in my thought life. It\u2019s not acceptable either. So why do I let negative self-talk score and slander my soul?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not any good at this. I could never do that. I\u2019d like to try, to go, to become, to be\u2026but I\u2019m not made for that. That kind of stuff is for people more gifted, qualified and more able.<\/p>\n

Binding, condemning self-talk. It will batter my spirit if I let it. It\u2019ll pull me down and tether me tight and hold me in choke-hold of doubt if I allow it.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

Because there\u2019s hope.<\/p>\n

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.<\/em> (Isaiah 26:3, ESV)<\/p>\n

Perfect peace. That\u2019s sweet water for a spirit-gone-dry with negative self-talk. And the key? Keeping the mind stayed on Him. Releasing the grip of self-focus. Pulling my thoughts away from my weaknesses, short-comings and not-enoughs and residing in the thought-place of His glory.<\/p>\n

His strength.<\/p>\n

His goodness.<\/p>\n

His provision.<\/p>\n

His love.<\/p>\n

I shouldn\u2019t succumb to the damage of unhealthy thinking any more than my son should accept consistent, discouraging words from a friend. Standing there, in the mess of a kitchen and in the depths of my son\u2019s heart, I vow to do better.<\/p>\n

My boy and I talk a bit more about how to work through this tough circumstance. At the end of it, he\u2019s encouraged and so am I.<\/p>\n

Perfect peace.<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s something to think about\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
