Faith Related Affirmations

Affirmations have helped hundreds if not thousands of people. It is said that positive affirmations work because they have the ability to reprogram your mind, they can flush out all the negative thoughts you have and create new positive ones. I think most of us have heard of them. The most commonly used are positive affirmations, or phrases used to change negative thoughts as previously mentioned, also used to motivate and boost your self-esteem. Though on this occasion we are going to explore just a few faith related affirmations. Practicing is very simple; what you have to do is select a phrase and repeat it to yourself every day. Repetitions must be meaningful. You can also create phrases that are more meaningful to you. Practice repetition each day, multiple times a day. These affirmations can help you connect with God while also help you move towards your desired goal. For instance, I've found that saying "I am loved and capable" out loud in the morning sets a positive tone for the rest of the day, and reminds me that my worth isn't defined by my accomplishments. I've also noticed that on tougher days, when anxiety starts to creep in, taking a few minutes to repeat "I will not surrender to my fears -Isaiah 41:10" helps calm my mind and refocus on what's truly important. Like the other day, when I was feeling overwhelmed with work and family responsibilities, I took a walk outside and repeated "The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need -Psalm 23:1" - it was amazing how a simple change of scenery and a reminder of God's presence helped me clear my head and prioritize what needed to be done.
