It’s good to just preach to yourself truth. Truth is found in the Word of God. Preach it to yourself everyday: Every time you doubt; Every time you falter; Every time you’re afraid; Every time you’re in need; Preach it to your soul until faith rises and conquers anything contrary to what the Lord has declared.
Here is an example of how I preach to myself:
My comfort is this:
The Lord, my Lord, never has and never will forsake me. No. Not ever.
My Comfort is this:
The Lord, my Lord is good to me.
My Comfort is this:
The Lord, my Lord truly and completely loves and cares for me.
My Comfort is this:
The Lord, my Lord will not ever leave me to my own devices, but will, in faithfulness, afflict my soul to cleanse out the dross and conform me to the image of His dear Son.
Faithfully renew your mind with the Word of God every single day. You cannot stay encouraged if you never open the Bible. Encourage yourself daily by confessing His Word over yourself. It will surely comfort and strengthen you!

Sometimes when you are reading through the Word of God, certain verses seem to be emphasized in 3D. Today was one of those mornings as I was reading in 1 John 5.
