DAY 29:Today we are fasting from the thought that says: “My life is not very special. I feel insignificant and overlooked.”

Today we are fasting from the thought that says: “My life is not very special. I feel insignificant and overlooked.”

Though hard to admit, this mentality is often under the surface of our lives. It’s a mindset that hems us into a mediocre and boring existence. It undermines our confidence and willingness to take positive risks and stretch our faith.

Let’s change it TODAY:

  1. You have a destiny. Believe it. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you and destined you…”
  2. Remember the song: “You’re just too good to be true. Can’t keep my eyes off of you…” THIS IS WHAT GOD IS SAYING ABOUT YOU!!!!! Genesis 16:13a—You are the God who sees me!
  3. You cannot go unnoticed! Luke 8:47 says, “Then, the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet.” You are chosen by God (Colossians 3:12).

DAY 28: Today we’re fasting from the thought that says: “I don’t like myself.”

February 3, 2010  |  Mind  |  No Comments

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says: “I don’t like myself.”

Thoughts on this family tree include: “I don’t like the way I act; the way I look; my life; my personality, etc.” This kind of self-derision and self-condemnation defeats us before we ever face our day. It causes poor self-worth, limited expectations, bad decisions and bad habits…

Let’s change it TODAY:

  1. You care for and improve what you VALUE. Let’s learn to value ourselves.
  2. You are valuable. The value of a thing is determined by how much someone would pay for that thing. God paid for you with the blood of Jesus—Revelation 1:5, Acts 20:28. That makes you special and costly. Believe that.
  3. You are amazing! Meditate on the truth that you are fearfully and WONDERFULLY made (Psalm 139:14). You were made to resemble God—Genesis 1:28.

DAY 27: Today we’re fasting from the mentality of SELF-PITY.

February 2, 2010  |  Mind  |  No Comments

Sorry about missing out on a few days. Just got back from the USA. Today we’re fasting from the mentality of SELF-PITY. This includes thoughts such as, “nobody cares”, “nobody notices”, “what does my life matter?”.

These thoughts bring progress and joy in our lives to a screeching halt.

Let’s change it TODAY:

  1. Discover J.O.Y. (Jesus, Others, Yourself). As we fill our mind with Jesus first, then others, joy will come to our lives. Matthew 6:33—seek first the kingdom of God…PUT GOD FIRST.
  2. Learn from Cain. Genesis 4:3-6. He put himself first, and his countenance fell. Depression and self-pity came when he gave God the leftovers rather than giving him the first of his crops. Believe this—giving and tithing is good emotional medicine!
