Did you know that it is okay to talk to yourself. Sometime when you say things out loud you are able to understand, see more clearly, and figure out what your issues are. Being human means you have issues. Your issues do not look like mine or anyone else's. They are yours to deal with God. Other people can help in the journey, but you have to be honest about them and face them on your own (plus God).
Common issues are marriage, raising children, illness, financial, insecurities, fear, and negative emotions causing problems. These are issues that have to be dealt with in your mental closet. Some issues you have to learn how to endure. If you don't learn out how to tune out the lies or endure the uncontrollable, then you will lack self-worth and suffer from issues like depression.
Your issues will be a constant source of stress until you deal with them. Stress will amplify the issues causing personal problems. This is why we need the truth. God is the source of truth, so whatever comes from Him you can trust. Speak the truth to yourself, so you can hear it over the lies. When the truth smothers the lies, you start to heal.
Speaking truth to yourself is encouraging yourself, it counsels, and it frees the Holy Spirit to speak more clearly to your soul. Wise words prompt wise action. If you allow God to put strong Christians in your life, then you can save a lot of money on counseling.
You need a strong faith community to be a part of your life, but that means allowing them into your life. You can't hold back and expect them to understand what is happening to you. They can't speak truth that will touch your soul if you don't let them in. Find a mentor to help guide you where things are harder. Find a mentee to be able to share what you learn.
Speaking truth to yourself is about building your faith. Faith is where you will find your healing. Faith is acting on the truth that comes from God. This helps you walk in wisdom and to find healing. It all starts with believing the truth. Then start making the changes in your life that the Holy Spirit leads you to change. Lastly, share your life with other believers. They need you as much as you need them.
