God's claim upon my life; my claim upon His Word

i'm going to keep claiming and standing on God's promises for me. that much, i need to do and never stop doing. over and over, i need to keep trusting and believing and proclaiming. in a post that i wanted to blog before, i mentioned that utterance is powerful. speaking and proclaiming is understated when we mean it for empowerment because i truly believe that an outward proclamation is as much of a sign of an inward conviction as deeds are. utterance reinforces belief, utterance reinforces FAITH.

for today and everyday, i claim this:

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." - 2 tim 1:7

i know complain a lot. i blame a lot and i'm ashamed of it. God, help me to change and be better and to go into every difficult situation knowing that Your promises hold me up, Your encouragement sustains me and that Lord, You are fighting the battle with and for me. and that every time, i hear voices that are not of You, help me to DISAGREE with them for in doing so, i'm already standing on Your side - it's half the battle won.

so, c'mon, min!!

on another note, i want to give thanks today:

i'm thankful that in this FYP process (although it's at its initial stages), i'm excited to write and that the ideas are flowing and i pray it will continue to flow until it rests at the final word. not to mention, i have a wonderful supervisor who's so patient and approachable - a real joy and privilege to be tutored by. for all these, God, i give thanks to You to have planned it as such. (: let me not lose steam, i know God, by Your grace, i can do this and i can do well too.

thank You (:
