Good morning with a word for the day-Philippians 2:5, ‘Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.’Why do we allow our minds to wander into defeat?

Good morning with a word for the day-Paul was the founder of the Corinthian church, which he loved very much. He was grieved to hear that it was having trouble.
