I love the saying “She believed she could so she did.” Everything we do starts with what we believe we are able to do. What do you believe about yourself, your circumstance, and your future? The word believe is defined as “to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so.”
Deep inside you are desires and dreams that you may have never shared with anyone else. God placed those dreams inside you. Those dreams drive your desire to become a ____________. You choose how to fill in the blank. Be brave! Don’t worry about what others might think of your dreams. Claim them and start to believe.
Whose voice are you listening to?
You need to stop believing the voices from your past, present, and your own head that keep telling you what you cannot be or cannot do. I know the struggle of silencing the negative words that have been on repeat for years and decades reinforcing my fears of failure and lack of belief in myself. In order to move towards the belief I needed, I turned up the volume of God’s voice through His Word so He is the loudest influence in my life.
You are blessed if the words spoken into your life have been predominantly positive and supportive. However, you are not doomed to failure if you have been battered by negative words and limiting beliefs. Start listening to the voice of the One that loves you and has created you for a purpose. As you listen to who you are and who He is, you can start believing that you can and you will.
The Gospel of Mark teaches us to pray “I believe, help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24b). Jesus told us that “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me” (John 14:6). We rely on Jesus to reveal truth that we can confidently believe.

- You are a new creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17
- You are called into relationship with Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:9
- God is your healer. Exodus 15:26; Psalms 41:3
- God is your provider. Hebrews 11:40
- God works all things together for your good according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

You can believe it.
Choose to develop the confidence to believe in yourself, your abilities, and your talents. But, more importantly, choose to believe what God knows about you. Stand strong and confident in being His creation and knowing that He has a purpose and calling for you.
When you start to believe you can do what God has called you to do, you have taken the first step on the path He has created for you. Only when you step out in belief will you be able to glimpse what you can do through Him to fulfill His purpose in your life.
God holds us close to His heart and wants only what is best for us. Believe it today and start seeing what you can do! I pray God has spoken to you through this post and you are listening to what He has to say. Start to believe you can so you will!
Sharing my heart for you!
