What makes a renewed mind? A mind so radically transformed that it does not use the scriptures, but thinks in terms of scriptures.
It does not comfort itself with Jer 32:30-41, saying "O these are hard and bad times, nevertheless, as sure as the Lord rejoices in doing me good, the good days will return."
No, the renewed mind says "these are the good times! They have never ended nor will they ever need to resume! You're living the good life! For those, to whom God is everything, ought to be content and rejoice in every circumstances."
Oh God renew my mind. Help me put things in the ordinate positions.
Let me be strong tomorrow. Let me cling onto you and if so, may you also rouse your elect amidst the storm. God help us all to be careful with our words towards one another, help us to be gentle, not reacting hysterically towards one another.
Give us a love, let us savour the fruit of our labour tomorrow.
Give us eyes open to see, a feet swift to deliver help.
May we (if possible) be of a single mind!
Amen.
