Positive affirmations can be a great way to fuel your soul. You can use your journal to write down how you want to feel but make sure to write it in the present tense.
So, it would end up something like this “With God's strength, I am strong. I can get through this”. If those words don’t make you feel anything when you read them in your mind, change them.
Even better, write out Bible verses such as Philippians 4:13 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' or Philippians 4:8 'Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.'
The key is to find positive quotes, statements, which really impact you. So, don’t be afraid to experiment until you find the right, positive words to power encouragement and strength.
