Read Romans 8:5-8

So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. - Romans 8:6 (NLT)

What are you thinking about these days? If your mind is steeped in pride, lust, wrath, envy and such, you will not draw closer to God. If you allow the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts toward humility, generosity, kindness, and building up others as you thank God for His love toward you, you will draw closer to Him. In this way, your mind will be renewed daily and bring life and peace.
