Overthinking


As women, we have the tendency to overthink. Overthinking is either normal or destructive because it could cause a negative thought that piles up and eventually leads to negative emotions. Negative thoughts came from our past experiences or fears.

Destructive overthinking holds us back from being the person that God wants us to be. So, our challenge is on how to break free from this.

We are God’s Princess. He uses us to bring out the best in His people. However, our royalty is a threat to Satan. He would do everything to take away our crown and defeat God in us through our minds.

We can’t face this on our own. We need to humble ourselves before God and ask for His intervention.

Princess, even Paul teaches us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 to “Bring every thought captive to the obedience of God.”

There are 3 STEPS IN BATTLING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS applying this verse:

1. Write down every negative thought you have along with the truth

Example:
I’m not worthy.
-I am worthy because I’m God’s princess. He made me in His likeness and he loves me more than anything.

2. Present these thoughts to God
3. Be still and continue growing

For Sisters in a Relationship:

Steps 1, 2 and 3 plus number

4. Talk to your partner about it.

Sisters, God gave us the power to overcome everything this world offers and that includes ourselves.

God is working through us. Let us be sensitive enough to feel His presence and hear Him better. See to it that He is our first priority in our lives. Allow Him to lead you towards the Princess He intended you to be.

God bless! :)
