”…God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”

6 So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”

Speak in line with Scripture. Agree with God. Say what He has said. Allow His Word to change your mind and shape your perspective. I know this sounds simple and obvious, but it is so powerful when we do. We read our Bibles and we may not always feel the truth of what we see on the page, but it is important that we affirm it. Our only ground of confidence can be what ”God has said…”

‘God says it; I believe it; that settles it.’

Thought: “It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God -not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.” George Muller
