30 Days of SurrenderSample

Reflection:
For much of my life, I lived under the influence of lies the enemy whispered to me. Lies about my worth, my abilities, and even my place in God’s plan. These lies became like a soundtrack in my mind, playing on repeat until they shaped the way I saw myself and the choices I made.

“You’re not good enough.”
“You’ll always fail.”
“No one really loves you.”

These lies clouded my confidence, making me second-guess every decision. They told me I had to strive endlessly to prove my value or earn love. I began to act from a place of fear and insecurity, trying to compensate for the inadequacy I felt deep inside. My self-worth became tied to my performance, relationships, and circumstances—all of which could change in an instant.

This faulty mindset didn’t just affect how I saw myself; it also affected how I saw God. I questioned whether His promises were for me or if He truly had a good plan for my life. The lies created a gap between my heart and His truth, a gap I desperately wanted to close but didn’t know how.

Romans 12:2 became a lifeline. God began to show me that transformation starts in the mind. I couldn’t change my circumstances, but I could allow Him to renew my thoughts. I had to unlearn the lies and replace them with His truth. I began to immerse myself in scripture, letting His Word speak louder than the lies.

“You are fearfully and wonderfully made.”
“You are loved with an everlasting love.”
“You are more than a conqueror.”

As I surrendered my faulty mindsets to Him, I noticed a shift. My confidence wasn’t rooted in my abilities anymore but in His power working through me. My self-worth wasn’t tied to what I could do but to who I was as His child. The lies lost their grip, and His truth began to shape my actions, my decisions, and my view of myself.

Renewing my mind is an ongoing process. There are still days when the old lies try to creep back in, but now I’m armed with the truth of God’s Word. He is transforming me daily, helping me to see myself the way He does: loved, valued, and called for His purpose.

Prayer of Surrender:
Lord, I surrender the lies I’ve believed about myself to You. Renew my mind with Your truth and help me to see myself as You see me. Replace the faulty mindsets that have driven my actions with thoughts that align with Your Word. Transform my heart and mind for Your glory. Amen.

Action Step:
Identify one lie the enemy has planted in your mind. Find a scripture that counters that lie and meditate on it today. Whenever the lie tries to creep back in, declare God’s truth over yourself instead.
