This prayer really hit home for me. Isn't this the prayer most of us need to pray at one time or other in our lives? The voices that speak negativity into our souls are not from God, but we so readily believe them! There is a voice that will say; you aren't good enough, you are damaged goods and could never be worthy of the blessings others enjoy. We embrace these lies as though they are fact, I am completely guilty as charged myself. Our minds are truly a battlefield. For me I can also add to this list of "knots" fear and worry. These things can take root so deep that I feel my life is a wrecked mess. Lets ask God to replace the thoughts that literally can destoy us with his soothing words of acceptance and peace. There is plenty of grace to go around if we choose to grab it. This struggle is a daily one for me, but I am working on it! Blessings....
Thank you so much for sharing this. I too can identify with this problem of self persecution. It is comforting just knowing I am not alone.
