² Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:2 CSB)

When we focus our mind upon God, the things of this world become distant and less meaningful.

Not to say that we stop being concerned for the important things of this world, but they are put in perspective.

As we do this more and more, through prayer and thanksgiving, the worries of this world become distant memories.

We focus our attention on the things above and allow God to work on the things below.
