Often we are unaware that certain experiences strongly influence our behavior. For this reason we should guard our memory by walking in the Spirit on a consistent basis, for then our memory bank will remain pleasing to God. The individual who indulges in sensual thoughts develops a sensual memory and cultivates sensual appetites. The same is true regarding depression. The individual who dwells upon every distress, every rejection, every loss is naturally liable to depression.

Whenever the memory of such events comes to mind, develop the habit of “forgetting what is behind” (Philippians 3:13). Refuse to focus upon disagreeable experiences of the past, for they only become more deeply etched on the table of the mind and perpetuate the feelings of sadness or depression. As you consciously look forward to the future with the power and blessing of God, reprogram your mind by looking at difficulties through the eyes of faith, thus replacing negative or self-pitying thought patterns that will subconsciously depress you. When those negative thoughts come to mind, and they will, thank God for bringing you through that trial and “set your mind on things above.”
