When the battle seems endless and you think you'll never make it, remember that you're reprogramming a "worldly" mind to think as God thinks.
But God—the best "computer programmer" around—is working on us every day to reprogram our minds as we cooperate with Him (see Romans 12:2).
When a baby is learning to walk, he falls many, many times before he develops the ability to walk without falling; however, the baby is persistent. He may cry for a while after he falls down, but he always gets right back up and tries again.
Learning to change our thinking works the same way. There will be days when we don't do everything right—days when our thinking is negative. But never stop trying. God is gradually bringing us around to His way of thinking. Just don't give up!
I cannot recall when I was learning to walk but I do remember learning many things without failing much.
Now I need to learn to try—to do the right thing at the right time with God's help—to allow God to reprogram my thoughts.
And the truths are:
- God always love me
- God always protect me
- God always help me
- God always is there
- God will bring me THROUGH it
- God will give me the strength needed to GO THROUGH it
- God loves me, God chooses me, God surrounds me top down, in and out
- God will bring me through sufferings
- God will help me to be persistent
- God will use others to remind me when I refuse to hear Him
- God is always there whether I need Him or not
- God is always there whether I feel Him or not
- God is always there whether I want Him or not
- God allows me to make a choice
- God is love
- God is fearless
- God is good
- God is my source of strength
- God is all I need
