“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Romans 12:2
Living with PTSD can distort how you view the world, yourself, and even God. Negative thought patterns may dominate your mind. But Romans 12:2 offers hope: your mind can be renewed and transformed through God’s Word.
Renewal starts with small, intentional steps. Spend time reading Scripture daily, focusing on God’s promises and His character. When intrusive thoughts arise, combat them with truth. For example, if you feel worthless, remind yourself that you are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). If you feel alone, remember Jesus’ promise: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
Transformation takes time, but God is patient and faithful. As you meditate on His Word, your perspective will shift, and His peace will take root in your heart.
