Supportive Souls

     Have you ever felt trapped by the weight of your past? Perhaps it’s a mistake, a failure, or a belief that you’re not good enough. These moments can feel like chains, holding you back from stepping into the life you know God has planned for you. But the beautiful truth is this: God is in the business of rewriting stories, and with Him, you can move from bound to free. Recognizing the Chains That Bind You      The first step in allowing God to rewrite your story is recognizing what’s holding you back. These “chains” might look like: Guilt and shame from past mistakes. Fear of failure or rejection. Negative self-talk that says you’re not worthy. Unforgiveness toward yourself or others.      These are not from God. In fact, Scripture reminds us that, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). God’s desire is for you to live in freedom, unburdened by the lies that keep you bound. Letting God Take the Pen  ...

     Have you ever felt stuck in life, as though something unseen is holding you back from fully embracing the future God has planned for you? If you’ve been weighed down by feelings of inadequacy or uncertainty, you’re not alone. Many of us wrestle with limiting beliefs those deceptive thoughts that whisper, “You’re not enough,” or “You’ll never succeed.” But here’s the good news: God’s potential for your life is not limited by your doubts or fears. By releasing these limiting beliefs, you can step into the abundant and purposeful life He has designed for you.      Limiting beliefs are the mental barriers we build around ourselves that hinder growth, progress, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. They often stem from past failures, societal expectations, or even the fear of stepping outside our comfort zone. Thoughts like “I’m not smart enough,” “I don’t have what it takes,” or “I’m unworthy of success” can keep us trapped in cycles of doubt and inaction...

     Failure is a universal experience. At some point in life, we all encounter moments where things don't go as planned, and the fear of failure can become a paralyzing force. It whispers lies into our hearts, telling us we're not good enough, not capable enough, or that we’ll never measure up. But as believers, we have a powerful antidote to this fear: faith.      Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1). When fear of failure tries to grip us, faith reminds us of the promises and character of God. It shifts our focus from our limitations to His limitless power. Let’s explore how faith can help us conquer the fear of failure and live boldly for God’s purpose.      The fear of failure often stems from a worldly perspective a focus on achievements, comparison, and perfectionism. Faith, however, invites us to view life through God’s lens. Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that in all thing...

    We all wrestle with internal dialogues that shape how we see ourselves. Unfortunately, some of these thoughts are rooted in lies we’ve come to believe whether through past experiences, societal pressures, or our own insecurities. But as believers, we have a source of unchanging truth: God’s Word. Let’s uncover three common lies we tell ourselves and explore the truth God speaks into our lives. Lie #1: “I’m Not Enough.”      This lie often creeps in when we compare ourselves to others or feel like we’ve failed to meet expectations our own or someone else’s. It whispers that no matter how hard we try, we’ll never measure up. This thought can lead to feelings of inadequacy, shame, and despair. What God Says:      God’s Word reassures us that we are enough because He created us and loves us unconditionally. Psalm 139:14 reminds us, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full we...

     Have you ever felt as though your confidence was slipping away, leaving you feeling unsure, inadequate, or unworthy? In a world filled with comparison and self-doubt, it’s easy to lose sight of the truth about who you are and whose you are. But take heart—confidence isn’t something we have to muster up on our own. Through Christ’s promises, we can reclaim the confidence we were always meant to walk in.      The Bible reminds us over and over again that our confidence doesn’t come from our abilities, achievements, or appearance. True confidence comes from knowing who we are in Christ and trusting in His unchanging promises.      In 2 Corinthians 3:5, Paul writes, “Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.” This means our worth and strength are rooted in Him, not in what the world says or what we think we lack. When we anchor our confidence in Christ, it becomes unshakabl...

     Do you ever hear a voice in your head that whispers, “You’re not enough”? That persistent, nagging thought that you don’t measure up to others, to expectations, or even to your own dreams? It’s a voice that many of us wrestle with the voice of self-doubt.      Self-doubt can feel overwhelming, like a heavy chain that keeps you from walking boldly in your purpose. But here’s the good news: God never intended for you to live a life bound by fear and insecurity. In fact, His Word is filled with promises that can transform your perspective and help you break free from the grip of self-doubt. Let’s explore how you can move from feeling “not enough” to embracing the abundant life God has for you.      Self-doubt often stems from comparing ourselves to others, unmet expectations, or past failures. But at its core, self-doubt is a distraction from the enemy. John 10:10 reminds us that, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I h...

     In our walk with Christ, we are often faced with the inner battle between faith and fear. Fear whispers lies that tell us we are not enough, that we cannot succeed, or that failure is inevitable. These limiting beliefs hold us back, keeping us from living out the full and abundant life God has planned for us. But God’s Word is a powerful tool to overcome these fears and replace them with unshakable faith.      Fear is a natural human response, but it can become a tool the enemy uses to create doubt and insecurity. When we focus on our own shortcomings or uncertainties, fear gains a foothold in our minds. This often leads to limiting beliefs such as: “I’ll never be good enough.” “What if I fail?” “I can’t handle this.”      These thoughts run contrary to what God’s Word teaches us. In 2 Timothy 1:7, Paul reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Fear does not come from God; fait...

     Have you ever heard that nagging voice inside your head telling you that you’re not good enough, not smart enough, or not worthy of the blessings you desire? That’s your inner critic. For many of us, this voice has been a constant companion, always ready to cast doubt on our abilities and make us feel small. But as believers, we are called to silence that voice and trust in a much greater one the voice of God.     The inner critic is often shaped by past experiences, societal pressures, and our own fears. It thrives on negativity and magnifies our insecurities, often holding us back from stepping into the fullness of God’s purpose for our lives. But here’s the good news: that voice does not have to define us.      In John 10:27, Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” The inner critic is not from God. His voice is one of love, encouragement, and truth. When we learn to tune into His voice, we can o...

     Success often seems like a dream come true until the fear of it starts to creep in. You may find yourself feeling anxious, uncertain, or even self-sabotaging when opportunities arise that could elevate your life. This is a common struggle, especially for those of us with a deep faith. We know that God has great plans for us, but we also wrestle with the responsibility, changes, and expectations that come with success.      If you’re standing on the edge of a breakthrough but can’t seem to take the leap, take heart. You’re not alone. Overcoming the fear of success is possible, and it starts with trusting God as your guide through the process. 1. Understand the Root of Your Fear      The fear of success can stem from many places. Sometimes, we fear the unknown: Will we be able to handle the responsibility? Will we lose control? Other times, it may come from a fear of change success often brings new challenges, expectations, and even new re...

    What does it mean to live authentically? In a world that often pressures us to conform to societal expectations or put on masks to please others, it can feel impossible to discover and embrace our true selves. But through Christ, we are reminded of who we truly are loved, chosen, and created for a purpose. Living authentically through Christ means walking in alignment with God’s truth and letting His love guide us to live as He intended. We’ll explore how to shed the layers of false identities, grow closer to God, and confidently step into the person He created you to be. 1. Recognize Your Identity in Christ      One of the most powerful truths in the Bible is that we are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Your value doesn’t come from your job, relationships, or achievements it comes from the fact that you are a child of God. When we anchor our identity in Christ, we free ourselves from the need to seek validation from the world. Practical Steps: ...
