Negative thoughts are pessimistic, self-defeating, or harmful patterns of thinking that can lead to stress, anxiety, and discouragement. They often involve fear, doubt, guilt, or hopelessness and can distort reality by focusing only on the worst possible outcomes.
The Bible encourages believers to guard their minds against negative thinking. Philippians 4:8 (KJV) says:
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
