Who’s Voice Do You Hear?

We all have voices in our heads, thoughts that sound like very predominant real voices. What do these thought voices say or tell you? What do you allow yourself to hear or believe?

Do you hear, “I am a child of God, loved and a conqueror? Or “I am a loser, stupid, hopeless and defeated? John 4:19 ESV “We love because He loved us first.”

Do you hear, “I am strong, I can do this, I am a winner?” Or “I’m weak, it’s never going to change, why am I even trying, I’m tired, I always lose anyway?” Philippians 4:13 NLT “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

Do you hear, “I am held, I am protected, I will be just fine!” Or “I am alone, I am barely hanging on, I feel like a leaf in a wind storm?” Isaiah 42:10 ESV “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Do you hear, “I am confident,” I may be nervous, but God is always with me, I am a winner because I live in Jesus, and He lives in me?” Or “I don’t belong, I don’t fit in, people don’t like me, I’m an introvert, no one cares what I have to say anyway! Galatians 2:20 ESV “ I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.”

My mantra this year is “Retrain the Brain” I not only hear thoughts, but I also have arguments with people and situations. Whenever a negative thought or debate kicks in my brain, I stop and repeat “retrain the brain” a few times, think of something positive, or a quick prayer asking The Holy Spirit to change my thought direction. If my head is incredibly cluttered, I put on music, hit the kitchen, and dance. I dance when I clean my kitchen. Can you tell I grew up loving Mary Poppins? (still do) Sugar is always better!

Mary Poppins aside, all it takes is a moment to change your thought direction, don’t forget your Bible’s concordance if you need help directing you to what God has to say about you, your life, and any situation you find yourself.
