What happens when we dialogue with thoughts of doubt, fear, or worry? We set off a cascade of thoughts that do not serve us well. They multiply rapidly and it is hard to shut them off. I remember way back putting my hands on my head and saying “Stop!” I had no clue what was happening.

In 1993 I found out that not all my thoughts were of my own origin. That was a golden life skill that I immediately adopted. Think about our creation. Genesis 1:26 says, “Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…”

We are created to live throughout eternity. Everyone. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “…He has put eternity in their hearts…” Jeremiah 1:5 says that He knew us before He formed us in the womb. Amazing.

Thoughts of doubts, fears, and worries that come into our minds are fiery darts programmed to attack our faith. Dialoguing with them allows penetration. They fall onto the ground of our hearts and begin to take root. From there the enemy sets up an internal stronghold.
