I’ve woken up the past two days with immediate thoughts of doubt in my head. It was a ‘voice’ saying “You can’t do it. You cannot do this.” My very first thought when I woke up. What was odd was that the voice sounded like it was speaking generally, but I knew exactly where it applied to the day ahead. They were very specific pieces of my days that I had previously turned over to God, giving them up to Him for His glory.

I have to admit that at first, I believed the little lies, and they quickly began to spiral.

I believed I couldn’t do it. That I was not capable. That it was useless. That I didn’t know who I was kidding thinking I could do it. That I just wouldn’t do it. That I would give up.

But then, as I started to gain my consciousness, and start my day, I spoke truth against the lie I had been told when I woke up.

That I am chosen to be God’s very own possession, royal and holy, to show other’s the Glory of God. (2 Peter 2:9)

That I am God’s masterpiece created anew in Christ Jesus so that I can do the good things he has planned for me. (Ephesians 2:10)

That I am strong in my weaknesses because of Christ’s power made perfect. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Friends, my prayer is that when the enemy plants those doubts in your head that you turn your eyes to The Way, The Truth, and The Life. It’s certainly not easy, this daily battle that wages for our hearts, minds, and bodies. But, I know the end of the story, and the war has already been won. In the meantime, we can choose to believe the truth over the lies.
