Overcoming Negative Voices: Finding Hope in God's Word

Have you ever felt like your mind was under attack, bombarded by incessant voices telling you that you were just not good enough, that somehow you would never measure up? It's lonely, and the tempest seems impossible to outrun. If this resonates with you, I want to remind you of something: those voices can be silenced and peace restored.

Today, I'd like to share my own story of how I overcame this battle and how the Word of God became my anchor in the storm.

The Weight of Negative Voices

Negative voices aren't just passing thoughts; they can feel oppressive, almost as if they're stealing the light from your life. "You're a failure." "You'll never get it right." These words replay over and over, leaving you emotionally drained and mentally exhausted.

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know you're not alone. These thoughts may seem powerful, but there's a way to reclaim your peace.

My Journey to Freedom

There was a season in my life when the negative voices were so loud and so relentless that I felt like I was unravelling. I would hear things such as, "You have been rejected by God," and I believed them. A heavy cloud of despair marked my days.

In my desperation, I found a verse that shifted everything:

"If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies."

– Romans 8:11

Something in me woke up. I realized that if God's Spirit could raise Jesus from the dead, it could also breathe life into my weary mind and spirit.

And so, a choice was made. Each day I picked up my Bible and read it aloud. I was following a 30-day Bible reading plan, sometimes when I was too exhausted to concentrate on what I read. Sometimes I would read and cry, but because I believed the Word was life-giving, I kept moving.

Things started to change. Slowly but surely, before the month was over, I realized the voices in my head had stopped. Peace had returned to my mind, and it was so quiet and still that I almost missed it.

The Power of God's Word

It wasn't a coincidence-the power of God's Word had brought about a change in me.

"He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

– Psalm 107:20. Remember this verse? God’s word is powerful to heal.

God's Word is more than ink on a page; it's alive and powerful. It has the power to shut down the lies in your mind and replace them with truth and peace.

Speak it out. Declare it. Let it dwell in your heart and on your lips. Herein is the beginning of healing.

Tools to Help You

If you are fighting the battles of negative voices, or know of someone who is, here are a few resources that could be of help:

• The word of God! The word of God is powerful and it is okay if all you know for now is that one verse that sets your mind free from negative voices. Stay On it! Till you see a liberation and even after still stay on it!

You are never all that negative voice that you hear, I want to remind you that your life holds much weight, your life is more beautiful than you could ever imagine. You too can do great things because it is written for you to do so! So get, live, believe good for your life and stay in the word of God!

I hope this helps you take the very first step you need toward healing and freedom, till I write to you next week please remember “ You are worth more”.

Love.
