The truth is, God is able and willing to take care of me. His attentiveness is thoughtful, painstaking, and watchful in order to provide for my needs, operation, or treatment. This is because of the greatness of His love, grace, and mercy, and not because I merited His care by works. This is the truth that the Bible teaches – He has not abandoned me or forgotten me. Thoughts and feelings of fear or worry are lies which the enemy lies to us. We do not have to accept those lies. We can reject the lies and believe the truth instead.
This is how I trained my heart and mind to receive and believe the truth:
“I am feeling __afraid__, but it is only a feeling brought about by my past experiences. It is not a true reflection of my relationship with God or what He is doing in my life. Those things are determined by the word of God. I know God will take care of me because this is what it says: __repeat Scripture__.”
The word of God is powerful, living and active, the weapon of our warfare which is effective against all the lies of the enemy and mighty to tear down strongholds (2 Cor 10:4).
(Our daughter is visiting us this week from out of state. We don’t get to see her very often, so I will resume the chapter study through the New Testament when she goes home. In the mean time, please enjoy and share these Scripture pictures as you tear down strongholds of the enemy’s lies in your heart and mind, and replace them with strongholds of truth.)
