Know Your God-Given Identity

First and foremost, you must know that you are a part of Christ. The enemy does not want you to discover or understand who you are in Christ, and will try to take away your spiritual identity. Remind yourself that you are a child of God and you were put on this earth for a reason. God loved you so dearly that He gave His one and only Son to save you from your sins. You are a Christian and no one can take that away from you unless you let them. Don’t be afraid to stand up to obstacles and say “God is here with me, I can overcome this through Him. This will not dampen my faith or take me away from knowing Him.” This helps you build confidence in faith.

Read Your Bible

Hebrews 4:12 states: “His word is alive and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, able to pierce to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow and even able to judge the thoughts and the intentions of the heart.” God’s Word is incredibly powerful and holds the key to many of our problems. Through the Bible, we can understand the promises God has made for us, how He can help us in our time of need, and His amazing love for us. The Bible has scripture for every one of your needs. It is also full of examples of how God has helped others overcome their obstacles. For example, Sara was able to conceive a child after years of inability through the help and faith of God (Hebrews 11:11).
