Self-doubt, clumsy accidents, traffic slowdowns when you're already running late, untimely mistakes at work, constant fatigue... You're not always running at 100% every day. Is today one of those days for you? Take heart, my friend. Here are 5 quotes to help you put life in its place, taken straight from my weekly devotional release, "From a Babe".

2. Words have value,
meaning, and power.
Speak life into your
despair, or dying marriage,
or unsavory job situation,
or doomed friendship.
All things are under Christ's feet
(1 Corinthians 15:27) and are
subject to Him, so confidently
speak His word over your life.

3. Think of anger as a downgrade from the powerful
and beautiful person God has changed you into.
Don't settle.

4. No matter what hardship life has thrown at you, [or] how
much disrespect or abuse you've endured, you don't have to
view yourself, your strength, or your worth based on any of it.
You are more than your past,
you are greater than your
circumstances (1 John 4:4),
and YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
BECAUSE YOU’RE LOVED.
- From a Babe, Week 32

5. Be positive on purpose.
Beloved, you'll never
be able to control your
feelings -- those are at
the mercy of your
hormones; but you can
control your thoughts,
actions, and words.
Your thoughts determine the latter two, and the
latter two are what the world (and your enemy) sees.

6. Before doubt or fear smites your teary cheek again,
Speak aloud
what you've
already received,
For what you have is
far more powerful than
what plagues you now.
