Say it!

I thought I’d reshare this post from last year. I don’t know who it’s for, but if it’s you, here’s what I need you to say. MY FAITH IS IN GOD, NOT FLESH!

Say it with power because I need you to know, the devil is a liar. Whatever has been spoken over and against you, it is a lie and I’ve come with a counterattack declaring …

The sickness or disease won’t kill you. You’ll live, even with the scars, but you’ve got to believe it.

The grief. It won’t always be like this. You’ll smile again without your heart hurting so badly, but I need you to breathe through it.

This dark place you’re in, it’ll end, and you’ll find the light again. However, there are things you’re going to lose in the darkness, but it won’t be you.

Those suicidal thoughts can’t be your end. Sit up, inhale then exhale. Open your eyes, even with tears flowing. Do you see that? That’s another chance. Take it. Call the therapist. Talk to somebody. Get the help you need for depression. Take the medicine. Stop staying in a place that’s speaking negatively to you and your mind. You aren’t a failure. Starting over is okay.

The disappointment, mistake, or the thing that’s making you feel like a loser, sit in it. But only for a moment to learn the lesson. Then get up, takes your notes, hold your head up and get to work. This time, use what you learned to do and be better.

I don’t know what you’re facing, at this moment, but speak to it. Speak by the authority given to you by God and come out! You must survive this because we need you.

Here’s a prayer from a devotional I read. Pray it.

Lord, I am renewing my mind to the promises of protection You’ve provided. My trust is in You, and I have more faith in Your Word than what I may see with my natural eyes. In the name of Jesus. Amen
