How do you recognize the lies that fuel fear, doubt, and insecurity? Based on 2 Timothy 1:7, this devotional explores how to reject thoughts that contradict God's truth and embrace the power, love, and sound mind He has given every believer. Discover how replacing fear with faith leads to lasting confidence in Christ.

Negative thoughts can quietly shape how we see ourselves and even how we view God. Cindi McMenamin reminds us that discouragement, shame, and hopelessness are not the voice of our Savior. Through Scripture, God calls us to reject fear, trust His promises, and live with confidence in His power and faithfulness. As we replace lies with biblical truth, our faith grows stronger and our lives become a testimony to God's goodness.

Highlights:
Discover how to identify lies that create fear, doubt, and discouragement.
Learn why 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds believers to live with power, love, and a sound mind.
Understand the difference between the Holy Spirit's conviction and the enemy's condemnation.
Find practical ways to replace negative thoughts with God's promises.
Be encouraged to strengthen your faith by focusing on God's character instead of your fears.
Learn how living by faith points others to God's goodness and faithfulness.
