You are what you eat. (literally) And mentally? You are what you eat. What you feed yourself is what you are. If you feed your mind pornography, then you will have perverse desires. If you read trashy novels, then you will think trashy thoughts. If you read a book about the effective things successful people do, then your mind will gravitate to those things. If you read self-help books, then your mind will start trying to help itself. If you read the tabloids, then you will become disillusioned with your life.... the list goes on and on.
But it is true that if you feed yourself positive information, then you will have hope and conversely if you feed your brain negative information, then you will be depressed and become hopeless. (And I am not only talking about words but also music.)
God's word is very clear on this. Feed His Word to your mind and meditate on it, and it will give you faith. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
