I hear voices telling me I am not good enough. Lies tell me I am a failure and point out my mistakes. They try to convince me that work I do for God will never measure up to His standards. When enough things go wrong in my life, I am tired, or not feeling well, I succumb to these lies. I feel guilty that I have failed again and give up.

I can’t fight against these lies alone. John 8:44 is, “…He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he a liar and the father of lies. (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011) Lies are the enemy’s attempt to bring me down. Satan cannot take me away from the Lord, but tries to keep me from doing His work.

Trusting God drives these lies away. I must lean harder on God and might need to read my Bible more. This helps my faith grow and shows me these voices are false. God is greater than any enemy or lie I face.
