That voice telling you that you can't do it? That you aren't good enough? That it's all your fault?
That voice is a lie. That voice is fear. That voice is self-loathing. That voice is Satan.
There is only ONE response to that voice.
God.
Switch from that voice to God's voice telling you He loves you. Telling you that all things are possible through Him.
Maybe it is difficult to do what you're trying to do, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
Maybe part of the problem is you, but that doesn't me you can't work on it.
And you are good enough, because you are made in His image. You are His child. Adopted. Chosen. Added.
I'm not saying it's easy. Learning to turn off that voice and tune into God's takes effort. It takes a plan. It won't happen over night, but if you're willing to try it will happen.
Stop. Be silent. Listen.

It is amazing how loud the silence can be sometimes. Its good to be reminded to listen for the truth instead of the destruction.

ReplyDeleteThis is so true! It is definitely not easy to take every thought captive and make them obedient to Jesus, but just like physical exercises, it becomes easier the more you practice. Later it becomes quite natural to reject lies and only holding on to truth!

This is so true! Not so easy to do, but as you say, if we keep trying and believe, and quiet that inner voice, then anything is possible. God said so.
