Psalms 112:8 — Meaning, Context & Application

How to Apply It

Here’s something you can do this week: whenever you face a challenge or feel fear creeping in, take a moment to breathe deeply and remind yourself of your strengths. Write down one thing you’ve overcome in the past to prove to yourself that you’re capable. Then, visualize the victory you want to achieve. Keep that image in your mind, and whenever doubt tries to sneak in, return to that vision. This week, practice staying steady in your heart, whether it’s a tough conversation or a daunting task at school or work.
