Declarations
Say these out loud. Not to convince God — to remind yourself what is true when your feelings are arguing.
- My job is not my source. The Lord is my source.
- No scheme formed in secret against me will stand in the light.
- I will do excellent work regardless of how I am treated.
- If this door closes, God has already opened the next one.
Father, make me the kind of person they cannot honestly accuse of anything.
