Don’t

When you’re tempted to speak and think negatively, don’t!

Read: Proverbs 13:3

The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life;
The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin.

Stand Still

You do not need to be afraid when God is with you. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

Read: 2 Chronicles 20:15-17

15 He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.16 Tomorrow, march out against them. You will find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”

Use Your Weapon

Do not let the cares of this world pull you down. Keep your mind thinking on Christ.

Be Warned

When you are self reliant and believe that you can handle life on your own, be warned, self reliance can lure you into deep waters without you knowing it.
If you quit listening, dear child, and strike off on your own,
    you’ll soon be out of your depth.

In The Battle

Ask God to harden you to difficulties so you can win, instead of running away scared.
‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’
