On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being “very little” and 10 being “a whole lot”), how often do you hear doubt whisper, You’re such a failure? Do you ever hear accusing internal dialogue saying things like, You always do that; You keep saying you’re sorry, but you’ll never change; or You’re constantly disappointing someone?
Before starting this study I would have given this a 10 (really even higher – like a 100). It was something I felt most of the time. However, since starting this study I’d say it’s down to a 8 maybe. By applying the scriptures just from the previous chapters into my life, I find myself feeling more able because I know that in Christ I can do anything and with this study daily at hand, I’m reminded of that. I’m hope now to keep it up even when I don’t have this study daily reminding me. I think the accusation above I still hear the most in me is You’re constantly disappointing someone, which of course makes me feel like a failure and then the spiral. I’m working hard to catch the thoughts as they start and take them to God then.
