“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” — Job 13:15
There are seasons in life that feel like total collapse—when everything familiar crumbles, and you’re left starting over with nothing but broken pieces. That’s where I’ve been lately. In the middle of my storm, I told a friend, “I’ve lost everything.” Their response caught me off guard:
“No—you’ve gained everything.”
They were referring to my spiritual growth, and they weren’t wrong. I have grown closer to God than I ever have before. Yet at the same time, I’ve battled negativity so heavy, it’s been hard to breathe.
I’ve always been a “glass half full” kind of woman, known for finding silver linings. But lately, in the name of “being real,” I’ve let negativity poison my perspective. I’ve spoken things over myself like:
“You’ll never recover.”
“You’re unlovable.”
“Life is always going to be this hard.”
Sometimes I joke, saying, “At least I’ll get to choose which dumpster to eat out of today.” But the truth is, those “jokes” reveal real fears.
One night, in the middle of another mental spiral, God stopped me in my tracks. He whispered something that pierced my heart:
“You’ve come into agreement with lies.”
It hit me. I was aligning more with the enemy’s narrative than with God’s promises—all under the disguise of “not being fake.” But faith is not fake. Declaring God’s truth over your life isn’t denial.
It’s alignment.
✨ What God Says Instead
“For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord…”
— Jeremiah 30:17
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
— Psalm 147:3
God’s Word promises healing. Restoration. Love. Purpose. None of that is fake—it’s the foundation of our faith. And just because I can’t see the end of this storm doesn’t mean I can’t trust the One who calms it.
So I’ve decided: I won’t fake it. But I will live by faith. I will speak life, even when I feel broken. I will choose truth, even when lies feel louder. I will align myself with the Word of God—because that’s where healing begins.
💡 Reflection
- Have I unknowingly come into agreement with lies about my identity, future, or worth?
- What promises from God’s Word do I need to speak over my current situation?
- Am I mistaking honesty about my pain for hopelessness about my future?
🙏 Prayer
Father,
Forgive me for the times I’ve aligned my heart with fear instead of faith. I confess that I’ve believed lies that don’t come from You. Help me to recognize the enemy’s voice and reject it. Teach me to trust You even in the storm—to speak Your promises even when they feel far away. I choose to align with Your truth, because Your Word never fails.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
