This was a big one for me - inner voice is often self sabotage, constantly thinking I’m not a good mum, a good wife. Recently I’ve found out I’ve got ADHD and for the first time in my life I feel like I can understand myself a little more. However, even knowing this I still often feel like I’m just the problem. I do quite often have a few thoughts and scenarios but here’s one that is probably the one that’s the most frequent.
My inner voice in particular says -
I’m not a good mum, my kids deserve better -
Now when I actually sit with this thought I actually can see and feel how this is not true and in fact it’s actually the opposite, god sees all and knows what I do for my children and if I wasn’t a good mum he wouldn’t be pulling me in the directions he is.
I live and breath for my children and they are so loved and cared for, they are healthy and happy and altho everyday is a challenge in lots of way and on days it’s particularly tough ( 2 out of my 3 are neurodivergent) I meet their needs and despite being married my husband has a demanding job quite so quite often I face these challenges on my own and we get through it.
I know this inner voice isn’t gods work, and I’m making it my commitment that when these intrusive feelings and thoughts come in I will be saying -
“ in the name of Jesus Christ silence these intrusive thoughts and feelings they don’t belong here!”
Wether you are following Christ or not -
Alter that statement above to make it relevant for you.
You can say -
Inner voice your thoughts and feelings aren’t welcome! This is not true, and you will not break me!
Whatever is relevant for you 🤍✨
I hope you all have had a day full of glimmers of hope and joy 🙏
