This is more than the power of positive thinking. These are statements based on the absolute TRUTH of God’s word and his promises to those who believe. Read them to yourself, believe them, and be changed. Remember we are all preachers to the congregation of one, ourselves.

luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the

be content in all my circumstances (Philippians 4:11)?
