Refer to yesterday’s devotional as an example of faith affirmations from Scripture. Psalm 97:9. Isaiah 54:17. Psalm 118:14. Psalm 18:2. I use those as faith affirmations, because those verses are hidden in my heart. The Holy Spirit brings them to my mind when I need them to anchor me.

David used faith affirmations. Psalm 18:2 says, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Here is another. Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

Mark 11:22 says, “…Have faith in God.” Faith affirmations are not useless words. Just chanting them will not make a difference, because that is futile activity. Faith comes by hearing God’s word which is alive, powerful, and pierces deep down into our soul.
