What kinds of things do you say to yourself?

Do you say things like, "I'm so stupid" or "I'll never succeed"? These are negative affirmations. That's right! Affirmations can be negative or positive. The more we say things like this, the deeper they become entrenched in our thinking. They become our default thoughts.

I suffered for years with negative thought habits and it grew worse and worse because I didn't realize I could change my thoughts.

As I suffered with depression, mania, anxiety, and other mental health struggles, I felt helpless to change. I knew the Bible said to "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about thing that are excellent and worthy of praise" (Philippians 4:8). But I didn't know how to jump out of the deep thought ruts formed by years of negative thinking.

Change happens one thought at a time.

The Bible offers this explanation: "We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). We formed negative thought habits one thought at a time. Now those deep trenches in our brains have become strongholds—default thought patterns that are difficult (but not impossible!) to change.

Allow me to share 60 biblical affirmations to retrain our brains with the word of God. As I share a few thoughts on each one, I hope you'll be encouraged and find depression loses its grip on your life. There's no need to live in torment. You can envision a brighter tomorrow, starting today.

These 60 biblical affirmations will give you a start on changing the way you think. Each statement of faith rephrases a verse or two. Add these statements of faith to your arsenal of tools to combat the darkness of depression.
