Daily Affirmation #2- Biblical Based

Here is another affirmation to confess over your life (first one on previous post). Shorter and direct if these are things your working on in your life too! Speak this out loud to give it POWER! Set your day with an intention! Line your body, soul, and spirit up! 

I will not be afraid or discouraged today. I have faith in God the Father and feel Him with me today. "Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"-Joshua 1:9. "Do no be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you"-Duet 31:8.

I will turn only to God for rest. I will take time each day to be comforted by Him.  "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest"-Matt 11:28. "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"-Psalms 91:1.

 I will give God my burdens so I can be free. Free from worldly stress, anxiety, fears, and disappointments. "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken"-Psalms 55:22

The Lord's Joy is my strength, not my own. "I can do all things through Christ whom gives me strength"-Phil 4:13

I will take time each day to recognize God in my life. "Be still, and know that I am God" -Psalms 46:10

The Lord is helping me become healthier in my mind, soul, and spirit. "Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health"-Psalms 30:2



Health Affirmation- Bible Based

Here is a confessional/affirmation I wrote if you want to hang it up somewhere in your house to say in the mornings (I suggest the bathroom mirror & in the car). Confessing energy and health over your body, from a Biblical standpoint. Hope it encourages you and gives you motivation in your day. Bringing focus to your day by starting off with an intention!



God,
            I begin this day in you Lord (prov 16:3). A day full of energy and promise. That today I will remember the beauty I posses(song of songs 4:7); that I am unique(song of songs 4:6, 4:13a); and that I can do anything that I want (Phil 4:13). There is no one like me (song of songs 6:8) I ask in your name for help in time management and for encouraging friendships. Friendships that encourage my motivation (Prov 27:17) (3John2). That I will live the life I want to live today, not tomorrow (Prov 16:9). Understanding that being healthy is not just the workout; but a lifestyle I want to live, and I can accomplish. Your word says the energetic have something to show for their life (Prov 13:4). And that I won’t just merely be healthy, I will have God’s over and abundance. His word says I will “glow” with health and my bones will “vibrate” with life (Prov 3:8)! I accept these things in Jesus name! A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones(prov 14:30). I will glorify the Lord with everything I do (1Cor 10:31). Thanking you Lord now for the sweet and refreshing sleep provided to me tonight (Prov 3:24). That when I awake in the morning I will be refreshed and completely re-energized(Prov 12:27)!  That I will not grow weary but continue to live a strong and mighty day to day life(Gal 6:9)(prov 13:11) (Isaiah 58:11-12)!
Accepting all of these things in according to your good will,
Amen!
