Renewing of the Mind Bible Verses

Renewing of the Mind Bible VersesDo you ever feel like you want to have a daily quiet time or renewing-of-the-mind time, but you just can’t make yourself do it? If so, try praying through some of these Bible verses.

Here’s an example of a Scripture prayer you could pray for Jeremiah 31:3-4:

Scripture Prayer Example

The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! Again you will take up your tambourines, and go forth to the dances of the merrymakers.

Lord, I close my eyes and I see you walking toward me. You’re looking at me with eyes of love, wanting to spend time with me, and I’m thinking of all the things I have to do today. Please forgive me, Lord.

Help me to love you with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.  You know where I’m weak, Lord. Build me up, and I will be rebuilt.

You say that you love me with an everlasting love, and that you’ll draw me toward you with lovingkindness. Lord, please draw me toward you now and give me the desire to read Your Word.

Then I will shake my tambourines and praise your Holy name.

Renewing of the Mind Bible Verses

Here are some more verses to pray. They can also be found in the Renewing of the Mind Project, which releases February 4, 2015.

Psalm 91:2-4 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

Psalm 147:2-3 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Isaiah 62:4a, 5b It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”; But you will be called, “My delight is in her,” And your land, “Married”; for the Lord delights in you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 31:3-4 The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! Again you will take up your tambourines, and go forth to the dances of the merrymakers.

John 8:31-32 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Galatians 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Ephesians 4:22-24 That, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Philippians 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Hebrews 12:11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

    Great study here, Barb. I’m struck by John 15:4. Such a sweet message in that passage.

      Yes, sweet and true.

    Great passages. I recently read The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson and it talks about praying scriptures into our life. These are some great ones to be praying over myself and others.

      Just checked out the book on Amazon – it looks interesting! Thanks for the tip.

        It really challenged me in the area of prayer. This is one of the best prayer books I’ve read (but I’ve only read a few in my life).

          Thank you – I’ll have to try it. I could use help with prayer!

    Phil 3:8, oh to grow that close to God that all else seems to be rubbish! My heart desires to draw close to him like that, but that means I must renew my mind, and allow Him to transform me. I must take my thoughts captive! This is an active process!

    When I first began reading this post I was reminded of my women’s Bible commentary talking about how God woos us. He loves us so much! It blows me away to see how He courts us and longs for a relationship! It’s beautiful.

      I agree. As I read through the Old Testament, I see God always longing for Israel to give up their idols and come back to Him. Then the New Testament and Jesus being willing to suffer everything He suffered for us. To me, the Bible screams of His love for us.
