��️ MEDITATION
Fear, doubt, and anxiety are powerful forces that can disturb peace, cloud judgment, and hinder purpose.
God equips believers with power, love, and a sound mind to overcome these mental attacks.
Protection begins with awareness, scripture meditation, and declaration of God’s truth.
Every fearful thought or doubt must be countered with the Word of God. Emotional discipline and mental focus strengthen your mind against recurring anxiety.
A sound, God-aligned mind creates peace, confidence, and clarity, enabling you to step boldly into your calling without being controlled by fear or uncertainty.
