Feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of doubt and fear? You’re not alone, but you don’t have to stay there. Doubt and fear are the enemy’s favorite tools to hold you back, but God has already given you the power to break free. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Fear is a liar, and doubt is its partner. They whisper, “You’re not enough,” or “It’s never going to change.” But God’s Word speaks louder: “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). The cycle breaks when you stop listening to fear and start speaking truth. Declare His promises: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1). Shift your focus from the size of your problems to the greatness of your God. He’s with you, He’s for you, and He’s already equipped you to overcome. Step out in faith—you’re stronger than you think because He’s in you. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Are you trying to control everything? Let’s be honest—carrying the weight of control is exhausting. You weren’t meant to handle it all or figure everything out. That’s God’s job. “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). When you try to control everything, you leave little room for God to move. But He’s calling you to let go and trust Him. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). Releasing control doesn’t mean things will fall apart—it means you’re giving them to the One who holds everything together. “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). Take a deep breath and surrender what’s weighing you down. God’s got this. He’s more than capable of handling your worries, fears, and plans. Let Him lead, and watch what He can do.

That moment when you’re praying for patience… and God puts you in the slowest line, behind the guy with 50 coupons, while your phone battery dies. It’s frustrating, right? But here’s the thing—God doesn’t just give us patience; He grows it in us. And growth often happens in uncomfortable, stretching moments. “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4). Sometimes, the slow line, the delay, or the detour isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. It’s God teaching us to trust Him, lean into His timing, and let go of the rush. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:7). So, the next time you’re praying for patience and find yourself in one of those "really, God?" moments, take a breath. Remember, He’s doing a work in you that will bring peace and strength for the bigger things ahead. You’ve got this—He’s growing you through it. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Fear isn’t your master, and it certainly doesn’t have authority over you. God didn’t give you a spirit of fear—He gave you power, love, and a sound mind. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). When you let fear call the shots, it keeps you from stepping into the plans God has for you. But here’s the truth: Fear is a liar. The enemy uses it to paralyze you, but God equips you to overcome it. “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you” (Isaiah 41:10). You don’t have to obey fear. Speak God’s Word over your situation, stand firm, and remind fear of its place—under your feet. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1). You are stronger than fear because the God who lives in you is greater than anything the world throws your way. Stand up, step forward, and let faith be your guide. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Has anyone told you that you are loved? Because you are—deeply and unconditionally. God’s love for you isn’t based on what you’ve done or how perfect you are. It’s based on who He is. “The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3). You are loved by the One who created the universe and knows every detail about you. “Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered” (Matthew 10:30). He knows your strengths, your struggles, your dreams, and your fears—and He loves you completely. If no one has told you today, let me remind you: You are cherished, valued, and seen by a God whose love never fails. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life... nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39). Rest in that truth. You are loved. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

My heart is for you to walk through this day with power and strength—not in your own might, but in the limitless power of God. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped” (Psalm 28:7). Whatever challenges you’re facing, know this: God is with you. His Spirit is alive in you, giving you the boldness, peace, and perseverance to overcome. “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). I’m believing today will be a day where you feel His strength lifting you, His presence surrounding you, and His power working through you. You are not walking alone—He is right there, equipping you for victory. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Comparing yourself to others? It’s easy to look at someone else’s life and feel like you’re falling short. But comparison is a trap that steals your joy and blinds you to your unique purpose. “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else” (Galatians 6:4). God didn’t create you to be like anyone else. You are uniquely designed with a specific plan and purpose. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). When you compare, you miss the beauty of what God is doing in you. Instead of looking around, fix your eyes on Him. “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1-2). Your journey is yours alone, and God’s plans for you are good. Stop comparing and start embracing the amazing person He made you to be! Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Need a jolt of confidence today? Here it is: You are not walking through this life alone. The Creator of the universe is with you, guiding you, and equipping you for every challenge. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped” (Psalm 28:7). Your confidence doesn’t come from what you can do—it comes from who God is in you. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). He’s the source of your boldness, courage, and strength. When doubts creep in, remind yourself of this truth: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). You have everything you need to step into today with confidence because He has already equipped you for the task. Walk tall, speak boldly, and trust fully. God’s got you, and nothing can hold you back! Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Who put the thoughts in your brain that you’re not enough or that you can’t do it? They didn’t come from God. Those doubts, insecurities, and lies come straight from the enemy, whose mission is to discourage and distract you. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). God’s Word tells you the truth: You are enough, and you can do it—because He is with you. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). He’s the one who equips you, empowers you, and calls you His masterpiece. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10). The enemy wants you to believe you’re too weak or too flawed, but God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). The next time those negative thoughts creep in, call them what they are—lies. Then replace them with the truth of who you are in Christ: strong, chosen, and able. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

God’s not looking for perfection. He’s looking for your heart. You don’t have to have it all together to come to Him—He meets you right where you are. “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Perfection isn’t what God desires; it’s surrender. He works through brokenness, weakness, and even your flaws to display His glory. “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness’” (2 Corinthians 12:9). God isn’t asking you to be flawless—He’s asking you to trust Him, lean on Him, and let Him do the work in you. “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose” (Philippians 2:13). Come as you are, imperfections and all. He loves you and will do amazing things through you when you give Him your yes. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com

Has someone told you that your past sins, mistakes, and failures will keep you from being used by God? That’s a lie. God doesn’t disqualify you because of your past—He redeems it and uses it for His glory. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Look at the people God used: Moses was a murderer, David committed adultery, and Paul persecuted Christians. Yet God didn’t just forgive them—He called them, equipped them, and used them mightily. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Your mistakes don’t disqualify you—they prepare you. God takes the broken pieces of your life and creates something beautiful. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). Don’t let anyone, not even yourself, tell you that God can’t use you. Your past is no match for His grace, and He has a plan and purpose for your life. Love, Deb MyFaithHub.com
