Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts

by Jennie Allen

What fear-filled thought is Satan using to suffocate your faith? Name it. Say its name. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to withstand whatever the future might hold. I choose to believe God will not allow me to be tempted beyond what I can endure and will always give me the strength to overcome temptation.11 I’m afraid that everyone will abandon me. I choose to believe God has promised not to leave me, and He always keeps His promises.12 I’m afraid of losing everything and everyone I love. I choose to believe God will sustain me in my brightest moments of victory and my darkest moments of suffering.13 I’m afraid of being found out. I choose to believe God knows every thought before I think it and loves me.14 I’m afraid that I’m really not capable of doing this job. I choose to believe God has given me everything I need to live a godly life.15 I’m afraid of being rejected. I choose to believe God has accepted me as His child and will never leave me.16 I’m afraid of not living up to their expectations. I choose to believe God wants me to seek His approval only and release the pressure to please people.17 I’m afraid of failing miserably for everyone to see. I choose to believe God specializes in taking weakness and using it for His glory.18 This is how we fight the spiral. We pull the thoughts out of our heads, and we steal all their power and then replace them with what is true!
