Hey friends,
A few years ago I was going through a really tough life situation, and honestly I found myself needing to be reminded of God’s truth for my life. I had fallen into the trap of allowing others’ thoughts, opinions and beliefs to shape how I viewed God, my marriage, children and even myself.
And not in good ways.
I come across people often who need the same reminders I needed, and that’s why I’m sharing these declarations with you.
Just as a reminder, I’m not talking about new-age, self affirming stuff here.
I’m talking about the biblical principle of taking every thought captive and speaking God’s truth over ourselves daily. I’m talking about meditating on God’s word day and night, DECLARING His truth.
Every single one of these declarations are supported FOR AS LONG AS you are seeking after God. Remember—declaring something cannot replace repentance or cover up voluntary sin.
Life may be downright treacherous right now, or it may be “pretty good”. However, You were not created to live a life of constant struggle, and you were not created to settle for “pretty good”, my friend.
You are WORTHY of so much more!
Now let’s talk about the life you were created for AND the life you are worthy of – AND let’s take action by declaring it daily in our lives!
