Here are a few things that help me:Scripture meditation. When lies come, replace them with truth. Like Psalm 139:14—‘I am fearfully and wonderfully made.’ Or 2 Corinthians 12:9—‘His grace is sufficient for me.’Prayer when feelings are overwhelming. You don’t have to have fancy words. Just, ‘Lord, I feel heavy. Remind me who I am in You.’Healthy boundaries. Sometimes guarding your heart means stepping back—from conversations, environments, or even people who drain your spirit.Writing a Truth List. This is one I want to challenge you to start. Write down truths about who you are in Christ. My first five are: I am loved. I am chosen. I am forgiven. I am not alone. I am enough because He is enough. Add to it whenever God shows you something.”“Family, guarding your heart isn’t about building walls to keep everyone out. It’s about protecting what God has already placed inside of you—His love, His Spirit, His truth.If you’re feeling attacked, heavy, or ‘not enough’ today, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you.
