45. Bonus Episode: Declarations

In this episode I share some of the declarations that I have written for myself. Hopefully, some of them will be an encouragement to you too. Remember though, it's important for you to personalize them or come up with your own as well based off of what the Lord is currently teaching you.

As I shared in the episode, I'm including the declarations below. I wanted to write out the Scriptures in their entirety next to each one, but it would exceed the amount of space I'm provided in this podcast description. As such, I just put the Scripture references next to each declaration.

DECLARATIONS:

Jesus is all that I need. (Psalm 23:1)

Every moment of every day I set the Lord before me. No matter what comes, I am stable because He is with me. (Psalm 16:8-9; 112:7)

I continually give thanks regardless of my circumstances and emotions. My days are an endless stream of gratitude to the Lord for who He is and all that He’s done for me. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

I put others first. I run to the back of the line. I hurry to the low seat. I live to serve, not to be served. (Mark 10:42-45)

I am led by the Spirit. I consciously and willingly yield to Him today and place my mind under His control. (Romans 8:14)

Jesus loves me. He meets me with open arms, not a pointed finger.  (Matthew 11:28-30)

All of my guilt, shame, and condemnation has been nailed to the cross. There is none left for me. (Romans 8:1-4)

I am not dragged around by my thoughts or emotions. I trust the Lord and look to Him for guidance and answers. He shows me what to do. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

God gives me wisdom when I ask for it, and He doesn’t point a finger in my face for needing it. He is not disappointed or irritated with my need for wisdom. (James 1:5-6)

I don’t know everything, and I don’t have to always be right. I am a learner and a listener, not a know-it-all. I can learn something from everyone. (Proverbs 18:2)

I don’t seek conflict, but I don’t run from it either. (Proverbs 28:1)

God is my provider. I don’t worry about finances. I just seek Him. (Matthew 6:31-34)

I am not an anxious person. Any anxiety I experience I immediately cast at the feet of Jesus, give thanks, and ask for His wisdom. Then I leave the matter there unless He tells me to do otherwise. (Philippians 4:6-7)

I do what’s right, not what’s easy. (Still working on a verse)

I am a finisher, not just a starter. (Still working on a verse)

I look to the Lord and not to food for comfort. I don’t overeat. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I’m temperate and self-controlled. (Proverbs 25:16)

The Lord sees me. He is fully aware of what I’m facing and how I’m feeling, and He cares. (Genesis 16:13)

I’m a joyful person regardless of my circumstances. God has filled my heart with joy. He is the source of my joy. (Psalm 4:6-7; 16:11)

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

When sharing my first declaration, I said the Scripture reference was Psalm 23. Specifically, it's Psalm 23:1.
