Six Daily Affirmations

Posted on February 15, 2019 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment


I Recently came across a blog post from Frank Viola which listed these six affirmations that he reads every morning. I found them helpful and thought I would share them with you.

Six
  1. Let go of how life ought to be and find joy somewhere in whatever your life currently is.
  2. Ruthlessly eliminate all expectations of how your day should be.
  3. Receive everything that happens today as passing through God’s sovereign hands before it gets to you.
  4. All things that take place today – including the irritations and disappointments — will work together for your good. Romans 8:28 is still in the Bible.
  5. You can’t control what others do, but you can control what you do and how you react.
  6. Shift the responsibility on God to change the things you cannot. It’s His worry, not yours. 1 Peter 5:7 is still in the Bible.

Do you like them? If you would care to add to the list, please use the comment box below.

The LORD and the LORD alone is my shepherd

Human leaders will fail us, no matter how good their intentions. Psalm 23 reminds us that God alone is the shepherd that will care for us no matter what.

Forgetting the past

The blessing of forgetting

Perhaps forgetting is choosing to no longer let those things determine our path forward. The choice is to not let those things define us but allow God to give us a fresh start.

Forgotten God

Francis Chan on the Holy Spirit

I would like to share the following quotation from Forgotten God, by Francis Chan: “I don’t want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn’t be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that […]

Question 10

How did God create man?

Thankfully, our Western culture is built around the foundational idea of the dignity of man. This thought informs our laws and our practice. We think that murder is wrong. We think that individuals have rights that should not be violated. We think that each person should be able to do or become whatever he wishes to be.
