Many of us tell ourselves lies. These lies can impact physical and mental health, decrease motivation and block success. Use these Biblical truths to replace the lies:

God is so powerful, all knowing, and wise that He already knows the fears and obstacles we will encounter. Having faith in his existence is important but actually believing his promises takes it to a new level! We only cheat ourselves when we don’t believe the WORD of God. Thank you for addressing the negatives we tell ourselves.
I am glad the Biblical truths resonated with you, Hartavia. It is important to replace the Satan-driven lies with God’s truth if we are to be who God created us to be and do what he created us to do. Continued blessings.
