Feed Your Faith, Starve Your Doubt

 


We all face moments of uncertainty — times when fear, worry, or self-doubt try to creep in and take over. The enemy knows that if he can get into your mind, he can shake your confidence and keep you from stepping into God’s best. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to entertain every negative thought. You have the power to choose what grows in your life. The question is — what are you feeding?

Faith and doubt can’t grow in the same space. One will thrive, and the other will wither. That’s why it's so important to feed your faith daily and starve your doubt into silence.

Tips to Feed Your Faith and Starve Your Doubt

1. Speak Life Over Yourself

What you say has power. Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” Start each day declaring what God says about you: “I am strong. I am able. I am equipped. I am blessed. I am walking into God’s purpose for my life.”
Even if you don’t feel it yet — speak it until you believe it.

Faith tip: Write down 3 faith declarations and speak them over yourself every morning.

2. Limit Negative Inputs

You can’t fill your spirit with fear-filled messages, comparison on social media, or toxic conversations and expect to walk in peace. What you let in will eventually come out. Be intentional about guarding your heart and mind.

Faith tip: Take a “soul inventory” — identify and reduce the voices that feed your doubt (news, gossip, negative friends) and replace them with life-giving content (worship music, sermons, uplifting books).

3. Get in the Word Daily

God’s Word is your daily bread — your spiritual fuel. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He didn’t argue with the devil; He quoted scripture. That’s how you fight doubt — not with willpower, but with God’s truth.

Faith tip: Start with one scripture a day. Write it down, read it aloud, and meditate on it throughout the day. (Try Romans 10:17 – “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”)

4. Surround Yourself with Faith-Filled People

Who you walk with matters. You need people in your life who believe with you, pray for you, and remind you of God’s promises when you forget them yourself. Faith is contagious — but so is doubt. Choose your circle wisely.

Faith tip: Reach out to a faith friend today and ask them to pray with you about something you’re believing for.

5. Look Back and Remember

Sometimes your greatest weapon against doubt is your own testimony. Look back at what God has already done for you. The same God who made a way before will make a way again. Don’t let today’s problem make you forget yesterday’s miracle.

Faith tip: Keep a “faith journal” — write down past victories, answered prayers, and reminders of God’s faithfulness.

Friend, your faith is stronger than your fear. God didn’t bring you this far to leave you now. The delays, the detours, the doubts — none of them cancel the promises of God. But it’s up to you to choose what you feed.

Starve your doubt. Feed your faith. And watch how God takes you further than you ever imagined.

You Can’t See the Picture When You’re in the Frame

  When you’re in the thick of life — overwhelmed, uncertain, frustrated — it's easy to feel lost. You’re doing the work, showing up, pushing through the struggle… and yet, it feels like nothing’s changing. But here’s the truth: You can’t see the picture when you’re in the frame. You’re too close to your own process to always understand it. Too deep in the battle to realize the breakthrough is already in motion. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Sometimes, what feels like failure is just foundation. What feels like delay is divine positioning. You are evolving, building, growing — but growth doesn’t always look like progress. It often looks like pressure. This blog is your reminder to trust the process , even when you don’t understand it. Let’s get into how to zoom out, realign, and move forward with power. 1. Zoom Out: Perspective Changes Everything When you're in the frame, all you see are the brushstrokes — the mess, the mistakes, the unfi...

Speak It Before You See It

  One of the greatest tests of faith isn’t in how we act — it’s in what we speak. Especially when what we say doesn’t match what we see. It’s easy to speak life when everything’s working, when the doors are opening, when the blessings are flowing. But what about when it feels like nothing’s happening? What about when the report is bad, the relationship is breaking, or the dream feels like it’s slipping through your fingers? That’s when your words matter most. Faith doesn’t talk about what’s visible — faith speaks what’s promised . And the power of life and death still rests in the tongue. What you declare in the dark determines what you’ll walk into in the light. If you want to see God move, you’ve got to start speaking like it’s already done. Even when you’re afraid. Even when it looks impossible. Even when everything in you wants to say, “It’ll never happen.” Start speaking like you believe. Don’t talk yourself out of your own miracle. Don’t water down your words to fit yo...
