And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Renewing our mind is not like renewing your driver's license or library card, which can be done quickly and doesn't have to be repeated for months or years. Renewing your mind is more like undertaking the job of renewing and refurbishing and old house. It doesn't happen overnight, it takes energy, and effort, and there is always something that needs attention. Don't fall into the trap of believing you can renew your mind by thinking right thoughts one time. To get the mind renewed, you will have to think right thoughts over and over again, until they become rooted in your thinking-until right thoughts come to you more easily and naturally than wrong thoughts. In what areas of your life does your mind need to be renewed? Trust that God will be patient with you as you practice right thinking.
