Getting past your doubts

Did you know that self doubt robs us of our dreams, damages our heart and numbs the mind into believing we are not good enough. Doubt will disable your ability to share the Gospel or even help in the Ministry

Conscious or not, we all have experienced doubt in our heart that keeps telling us to stop what we are doing because we just don’t have what it takes.

How do we overcome doubt?

1. Quit assuming things – I can’t is an assumption. Why? Because you can’t possibly tell if you haven’t given your best yet. The next time you say those words, try to reflect if you have actually tried your best.

2. Stop comparing – Comparing drives us for action. But if you were to compare to yourself with someone who is much better than you, you might be in for a disappointment.

3. It's ok to fail – Success is when you got up from your last failure and continued walking for the Lord.

4. Listen to learn and Learn to Listen - Learning to listen empowers you learn God's way. When you listen it removes doubt through the Word of God. The very first scripture I learned was Phlippians 4:13 (read it and learn it).

5. Stop listening to others – Healthy criticism is one that improves you and the only one you should listen to. Always be on a lookout for the nay sayers. You can identify them by their consistent negative comments on whatever you plan to do and will not offer a better idea.

6. Stop thinking like a coward – You need to rid yourself of the thought of not winning and get back to work.

7. Focus – Quit thinking about things you have no control over and instead focus on things you do have control over.

Self doubt will try to imprison you by your own restrictions. A restriction that never actually existed other than through your very own mind.
