Daily Affirmations for Your Family

Did you know that you talk to yourself more than anyone else? That’s why you have to be careful what you’re saying, because you are listening!

Think about it—if you're constantly talking about how bad things are, it discourages you. It makes things appear hopeless. If you want to transform your world for the better, then you have to get your words working FOR you and not against you!

How? Begin to say what you want to see. Instead of dwelling on the problem, begin to talk about the possibilities. The scripture states in Matthew 4:4-Words kill, words give life. They're either poison or fruit. You choose. You can either speak life or death over your life. You have to watch your words! The scripture states, Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.” (Proverbs 13:3)

I like to say it like this; the words YOU speak become the house you live in. Let’s begin to use our words to build and not tear down; to bring life, encouragement, joy and hope.

Let me break it down and make it practical:

Instead of saying, "My family is so messed up" start saying:

My family is amazing.

My family is strong.

We will not repeat past behaviors that are destructive to the unity of this family.

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

Instead of saying, "I'll never get out of this financial hole I'm in," start saying:

Instead of saying, "I'm not good enough, talented enough, smart enough, good-looking enough," start saying:

I am more than enough.

I am talented.

I am creative.

I am filled with wisdom.

I can achieve anything.

My possibilities are endless.

I AM one of a kind and I bring value to whatever I set my hand to do.

Change your words and you'll change your world!

My dad used to say, Don’t use your words to describe your situation; use your words to change your situation.

So today:

Use your words to build your family, your marriage and your relationships

Use your words to build your mindset.

Use your words to build your future.

And If you don't have anything positive and uplifting and encouraging to say, don't say anything at all. (Proverbs 21:23-
Keep your mouth closed and you'll stay out of trouble.)

Don't leave life to chance.

Don't linger in the negative.

Decide today to stop using words that are limiting and begin to use you words to make life better than ever.
