I'm guilty of having anxiety issues. I've even been on medication for it in the past. I lose sleep over what will happen tomorrow. I consider all possible (terrible) outcomes. And worst of all, I leave God out of my mental pictures.

I'm learning, however, that I can choose which thoughts and images I entertain in my mind. I can choose to fill my thoughts with the worst-case scenario or the best-case scenario.

I can rehearse negative affirmations or I can rehearse positive affirmations. That's right. Affirmations can be negative or positive. Anything we say to ourselves affirms something we believe. Instead of affirming things like "I'm going to screw this up," we can affirm, "God is in control and he is with me."

Nowhere are positive, biblical affirmations more important than in dealing with anxiety issues. So much of our anxiety comes from our negative beliefs about the future. Let's fill our minds with God's truth about the future because God is already there working things out. We have nothing to worry about because he loves us and knows how to navigate our lives through each day.

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 anxiety lose its grip on your life. There's no need to live in torment. God is good and we can trust him with our lives. The future is rarely as bad as we imagine, so let's start imagining a better future!
