Take your doubts captive

**Joyce Meyer

When we start the process of renewing our minds, it is ok when we mess up. God knows we are not perfect and He is always there to help us to get back on track.

Unfortunately, the devil also knows we are not perfect, and he does his best to remind us every step of the way.

We can be going along, serving God, doing good, stepping out in faith and then all of a sudden, without there being any justification for it, we will have a day or week when we have an attack on our mind. Satan will tell us that we are failures, that we are not good enough, that God does not love us, the list goes on and on.

Thankfully, God's Word tells us just what to do in a situation like this. Second Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive and into obedience to God. So when the devil tries to lie to you, go to the Word and find the truth that refutes that lie.

When those doubts come your way, do not get discouraged. Bring them in line with God's Word. It works every time!

Prayer starter: God, I would not let the lies and doubts that the enemy sends my way get me off track. Instead, I will believe what Your Word says and take those thoughts captive!

2 Corinthians 10:5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
