“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 is a filter for your thoughts. Paul says: focus your mind on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable — things that are excellent and praiseworthy. Not denial, but direction. What you dwell on shapes your peace.
