Thank God, He became my solution! He began to teach me that I must line up my way of thinking with His way of thinking.  I must believe what His word tells me about myself.  I accomplished this by meditating on His word daily.  When I began meditating on His word, I began renewing my mind and having a new outlook of myself.  I began speaking His truths about myself and slowly began restoring my self-esteem. I spoke truths such as I am His masterpiece and He knew me before He even created me!  Wow, that’s powerful!

Friend, you are God’s masterpiece, beautifully, and wonderfully made!  I encourage you to speak these words out loud daily.  Your words have power.  God’s word says, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” So if you speak words of life over yourself, you will gain life.  If you speak death, you will gain death.  God’s word is life, the world’s words are death. You have a choice which types of words you are going to speak into your life.

Speak this over yourself daily and begin renewing your mind (Romans 12:2):

I am God’s masterpiece  (Ephesians 2:10).

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!  Your workmanship is marvelous – and how well I know it! You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.  How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They can not be numbered! (Psalm 139:13-17)

By the grace of God I am what I am, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. (1 Cor. 15:10)

I am deeply loved, fully pleasing, totally forgiven, accepted, and complete in Christ!

To God be the glory! I pray as you read these verses, they will begin to take root in your heart and you will begin to fully understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love truly is! (Eph. 3:18)

Before we left that morning I made sure to read scripture to help me overcome fear.   I wanted very much to enjoy the ride and enjoy the beautiful view.   As I was spending my quiet time with Jesus, I decided I would write out my scriptures to focus on during the ride.  So, I got out my pen and paper and began writing.  I wrote many scriptures that morning and placed them in my pocket for safe keeping!

As the doors closed in front of me, with people all around me (119 to be exact), I began reading my scripture.  The tram soon lifted us off the ground and we dangled from the air.  My flesh wanted desperately to give into the temptation of fear but I refused.  I made a choice to focus everything I had on God and His word. I didn’t give my mind, or Satan, the opportunity to scare me.  I quickly felt peace overcome me.  I was at peace and was able to enjoy the view!  God is an awesome God and He can always conquer our fears if we simply allow Him too.

When we give our fears to God we are able to truly live.  There is so much life out there and we sometimes allow our fear to keep us frozen.  We are unwilling to take chances and experience life.  I challenge you to not live in fear!  Joyce Meyers has stated, “Courage is fear that has said its prayers and decided to go forward anyways.”  We should never allow fear to control our lives, just have a little courage!

Fear is simply a feeling.  After we feel our fear, the next step should be to turn to God.  Give him our fears and stand firm on His word.  After all, His word tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  No matter your fear, rather it be an external fear or an internal fear, give it to God and you will find peace.

God bless,
