Willing to risk her freedom, reputation and community standing—While receiving the gratitude and respect of AIDS victims, the medical staff and their families.

A: Just like God answered Moses, when he asked that question—. “What do you have in your hand ?” In other words, use what you have. Prayer: Lord help me to get over my fear of failure and the doubts of not being able to accomplish anything else in this season of my life. With You I can do so much more than I ever imagined. Help me trust You more and believe Your promises. Then I can make You pleased and You get the glory. In Jesus name I pray.

Think About What You Think About What you tell yourself every day matters. If you believe something about your identity that isn’t true, then you will struggle to believe what God says about you. But, when you root your identity in God and allow His Spirit to shape your life, you will begin to see yourself the way He sees you—and this will influence the way you treat people, situations, opportunities, and events around you. So, here are three ways you can guard your thoughts and declare God’s truth over your life: 1. Identify the lies you tell yourself. Your words and actions reveal the narratives you tell yourself. To figure out if a narrative is false, ask yourself: Is this thought marked by fear, insecurity, pride, bitterness, or a lack of confidence? Is this thought leading me to cynical or self-serving behavior? If you can answer “yes” to either of those questions, then the narrative you’re telling yourself probably needs to be addressed and adjusted. When you can identify where and when you began believing a lie, it’ll be easier to change the way you think. 2. Shift your perspective. For every lie, there is a truth that can replace it—and those truths can be found in the Bible. Look over your list of lies, and ask God to show you in His Word what His truth is. Create mental space for the Holy Spirit to clearly show you how He sees you. 3. Declare what’s true. Turn the truths from Scripture into specific, intentional statements you can declare over your life each day. Here are some declarations to get you started: - I am enough because I am a child of God. - I rejoice in suffering because Christ suffered for me. - I am not ashamed of Jesus because His sacrifice changes lives. - I am greatly loved, and so I love others like I have been loved. - Nothing can separate me from God’s love. As you practice these steps, keep in mind that if God—whose Word is truth—says something about you, then it must be true. So allow His Holy Spirit to transform the way you think. Let His thoughts about you become your thoughts about you.
