Today is the first day of our 5 day Battle Challenge! If you’ve been struggling to maintain the peace in your mind and heart during this season, this challenge is for you!
Every day for the next 5 days, I will sharing Scripture and we will use it to repeat the 5 Rs:
1. Read my Bible, 2. Recite Scripture out loud, 3. Replace negative thoughts with Scripture, 4. Review what God has already done for me, 5. Reach out to others asking how I can pray for them and if they have any physical needs.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURES TO READ:
Peter 5:6-7, Matthew 6:25-34, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (TPT, AMP)
KEY POINTS
Humble yourself before God and throw your anxiety, worries, and fear on Him. Don’t worry about what you will eat, wear, or even about things like toilet paper. Worrying will not add one second to your life, trust God instead.
If you are unsure about how to humble yourself, throw your cares on God, and stop worrying and trust Him, guess what…you have divine power to overcome these things!
You overcome these things by taking your thoughts captive! It is a discipline you must develop. Every time worry, fear or anxiety pop up, don’t entertain those thoughts or emotions. Simply tell them to leave and replace those feelings and thoughts with the Word.
Important Reminders
Read these verses. Recite 1 Peter 5:6-7 and Matthew 6:25-34 out loud. Write them out. Breathe. Remember what God has already done for you. Pray. Reach out to others. Put on worship music. Distance yourself from those thoughts and feelings.
Initially, it may be extremely difficult (believe me, I know) but every baby step is a step in the right direction!
