Declare Truth Over Yourself!

Something I’ve done throughout my life that has helped me grow in faith and understand who I truly am in Christ is writing out and reading aloud specific Bible verses. If faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17), then declaring God’s Word aloud on a regular basis will strengthen our faith, encourage our hearts, and help us to walk in truth.

Here are some specific verses that I have personalized and often read over myself. I hope they bless you and help you as much as they have me!

I will take a firm stand against the enemy – at his onset – and be strong, rooted, and determined in my faith. (1 Peter 5:9)

I will keep on doing what is right, and trust myself to God who made me, for He will NEVER fail me. (1 Peter 4:19)

I will humble myself before God and resist the devil, and he will flee from me. (James 4:7)

I will be disciplined and earnest in my prayers. (1 Peter 4:7)

I am strong and courageous. I will not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord my God is with me wherever I go. (Joshua 1:9)

I will trust in Your unfailing love. (Psalm 13:5)

I will be filled with JOY because of You. (Psalm 9:2)

A Prayer to Displace Fear



God,

Sometimes fear hits me so hard it takes my breath away. But if I really knew how deeply you love me, Lord, I would never be afraid, because You are ALWAYS with me, and Your perfect loves casts out ALL fear.

When fear knocks the wind out of me, help me to remember that You are greater, and You love me. Lord help me not to allow fear to stop me, bully me, or shift my focus. Help me to know—deep down—how precious I am to You and rest in the TRUTH that You are greater than fear’s lies.

Help me not to be afraid but to experience Your love for myself and rest in your awesome, deep, unshakable peace. Strengthen me heart with Your precious presence and displace ALL fear. Send Your very real peace and encouragement to my heart and help me to consistently walk in courage by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

In the strong name of Jesus, Amen.
