How To Combat Negative Self Talk

How To Combat Negative Self Talk

Your mind is a battlefield — and the enemy loves to fight dirty.

He’ll whisper:
“You’re not enough.”
“You’ll always be this way.”
“God’s done with you.”
“You're too much — or not enough.”

But God’s Word is louder.
And what God says about you still stands.

“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5

This month, as we honor Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re standing up to one of the most common struggles:
negative self-talk.

Let’s flip the script — literally — and speak God’s truth over our thoughts.

 5 Common Lies vs. God’s Truth

1. "I’m not good enough."

Truth: “You are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus…” — Ephesians 2:10
✨ You’re handcrafted by Heaven.

2. "I always mess things up."

Truth: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1
✨ Your mistakes don’t define you — grace does.

3. "No one sees me. No one cares."

Truth: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18
✨ You are seen, known, and held by a faithful God.

4. "It’s too late for me."

Truth: “Behold, I am doing a new thing… do you not perceive it?” — Isaiah 43:19
✨ God isn’t finished. He’s just getting started.

5. "I’ll never have peace in my mind."

Truth: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast.” — Isaiah 26:3
✨ Peace isn’t impossible. It’s promised.

Speak Life, Not Labels

Every thought matters.
And every thought can be rewritten.

This week, take a few minutes each day to journal what God says instead of the lie you’ve believed.
Use scripture. Use truth. Use your voice.
You are not powerless — you are equipped.

🕊️ And remember:
Faith over fear.
Truth over lies.
Christ over everything.
