Following is the affirmation which I gave him—“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians vi. 13.)
The greatest secret for eliminating the inferiority complex, which is another term for deep and profound self-doubt, is to fill your mind to overflowing with faith. Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.
“According to your faith be it unto you.” (Matthew ix. 29.) So the bigger your problem, the bigger your prayer should be.
“Attitudes are more important than facts.” That is worth repeating until its truth grips
you. Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not so important as our attitude towards that fact.
But if, on the contrary, you mentally visualise and affirm and reaffirm your assets and keep your thoughts on them, emphasising them to the fullest extent, you will rise out of any difficulty regardless of what it may be. Your inner powers will reassert themselves and, with the help of God, lift you from defeat to victory.
To practice it simply affirm “God is with me; God is helping me; God is guiding me.”
Practise confidence and faith and your fears and insecurities will soon have no power over you.
“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans viii. 31.)
“Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God. God alone is sufficient.”
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
“The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.”
‘May the love of Christ fill my heart.’ Then add this line: ‘May the love of Christ for ——— (insert the other’s name) flood my soul.’
‘Even as You can convert a person’s morals, so now I ask You to convert my nerves. As You give power over the sins of the flesh, so give me power over the sins of the disposition. Bring my temper under Your control. Give me Thy healing peace in my nervous system as well as in my soul.’
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter
their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”
