Isa. 54:4-5

“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband—the LORD Almighty is his name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.

What do we mean by the thought "Nobody loves me"?  We may feel:

AVOID THESE 5 TRAPS:

To work our way out of this toxic thought we we get “stuck” there, we must learn to identify the feeling and the thoughts surrounding it and then learn to feel the feeling instead of:

How do we then feel the feeling that results when we think nobody loves us? How do we process through this feeling?

2 Cor. 10 3-5 

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

John 3:16 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

You’ve likely heard it said that there are 5 stages of grief that commonly visit everyone when they are faced with loss of a loved one.

You may find yourself in a state of “grief” due to job loss, divorce, or as a result of any fractured relationship. You may be suffering from sickness and illness or be bowed low due to the weight of life. Perhaps you’re feeling depressed and anxious, isolated, fearful,  and out of sorts as a result of our world’s reaction to the pandamic of Covid 19.

Although processing grief is unique to each individual, today’s episode offers immense hope and encouragement to that suffering child of God no matter the root of the suffering. For every stage of grief we experience, we choose to believe  that God is our helper.

Have you reached a point of fatigue, frustration, and forgetfulness in your life?  Are you at the end of your rope?

Let’s take a deep dive into how to REFRAME the toxic thought: I Can’t Do My Life.

Truly, the more we say we can’t do our lives, the more we can’t. Negative words and attitudes are extremely powerful. 

What can we do to pivot and replace toxicity with God’s eternal truth?

14 MUST-DO’S TO REFRAME THIS THOUGHT

Featured Scriptures:

Phl: 4:13: I can do all this through [Christ] who gives me strength.

Zec. 4:6: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

Luk. 10:41-42:  “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
