The importance of\u00a0 Your Self-Talk\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Lamentations\u00a03:21<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Jesus005\"<\/p>\n

Lamentations chapter three describes how despair engulfs us, and how we can conquer it. Jeremiah\u2019s downward spiral starts in verse one:\u00a0\u2018I am the man who has seen affliction\u2026\u2019 (v 1),\u00a0and morphs into an unhealthy preoccupation with his troubles. The fact is, when our circumstances deteriorate, our self-talk sounds a lot like Jeremiah\u2019s. He blamed God for his physical symptoms, his emotional anguish, and his sense of entrapment. He rehearsed God\u2019s failure to answer his prayers, and his fear that he\u2019d been singled out as an object of public ridicule: all classic elements of depression. No wonder he felt powerless and hopeless! (v 18). That kind of self-talk initiates and intensifies despair and depression and feeds our negative outlook. The turning point came when Jeremiah changed his self-talk:\u00a0\u2018This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.\u2019\u00a0He changed his thought process by recalling God\u2019s goodness and mercy:\u00a0\u2018Because of the Lord\u2019s great love we are not consumed\u2026His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness\u2019 (vv 22-23).When you change your mind\u2014you change your mood! It doesn\u2019t happen automatically; you have to deliberately refocus your thinking at the very time when you feel least like doing it. Notice: Jeremiah\u2019s circumstances didn\u2019t improve\u2014his outlook did. A stream of encouraging thoughts triggered a change in his self-talk\u2014and his depression lifted:\u00a0\u2018\u201cThe Lord is my portion,\u201d says my soul, \u201ctherefore I have hope in Him\u201d\u2019 (v 24).\u00a0That\u2019s how important your self-talk is!<\/p>\n

Prayer\u00a0<\/strong>Heavenly Father, <\/strong><\/p>\n

help me in my self-talk to be saying and focusing on Your Word and the promises that You give me in Your Word. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
