Take a look at this quote I stumbled upon one day.

OUCH!!!  The moment I saw this quote, I was convicted. (Curse you Elisabeth Elliot!!!)

 

Self doubt is one of Satan’s best tricks.  He keeps us frozen so that we will never achieve what God had in store for us, and it’s all in the anticipation of what our mind THINKS will happen.  Unfortunately, we often fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

 

So then what do we do to keep this from happening?

 

 

 

We have to engulf ourselves in His word.  Then we can use His lingo to combat our feelings of doubt

 

Try placing these verses on your lips when things start to get tough…

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

— Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV)

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

— Psalms 37:4 (NIV)

As always, I will be praying for you that you won’t allow Satan’s self-doubt defeat you and ask that you pray for me.  Until next time…

Be blessed and be a blessing!
