One thing that I've learned in the nearly 10 years on my health journey is this: Change happens when you make better choices. Change happens one choice at a time. Today, you can start to change by changing the words that come out of your mouth, your confession.
"Confess" means "to say the same." Say the same thing that God says consistently and you will see yourself and your world change! The bible says "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible (Hebrews 11:3)." The wisest thing you can do is stop framing your world with your own words, but with God's word. Let your words change your atmosphere!
Speak the below confessions over yourself right now.
* Today, I declare the goodness of God in my life.
* I am created in the image of God and I praise Him.
* I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I love myself. I accept myself. I value myself.
* I declare that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because God's spirit lives in me, I have infinite wisdom available to me.
