DAY 12 DEVOTIONAL

Renewing the Mind

Scripture:“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Reflection

As we move further into the fast, God often begins working at the level of our thoughts. Fasting not only disciplines the body—it renews the mind. It helps us recognize patterns of thinking that may not align with God’s truth.

The transformation God desires begins internally. When our thoughts change, our attitudes, decisions, and actions follow. This renewal process requires intentional focus on God’s Word and a willingness to replace old beliefs with His truth.

Today is an invitation to examine what influences your thinking and allow God’s perspective to reshape how you see yourself, others, and your circumstances.

Prayer

Lord, renew my mind with Your truth. Help me recognize thoughts that are not from You and replace them with Your Word. Transform the way I think so my life reflects Your will. Amen.

Faith in Action

Choose one Scripture today and meditate on it throughout the day. When negative or distracting thoughts arise, intentionally replace them with God’s truth.

Reflection Questions

• What thought patterns does God want to renew in me?

• How does my thinking influence my behavior?

• What truths from God’s Word do I need to embrace more fully?
