Cassandra Mack’s Soul Fast 40-Day Challenge
Day 15
Fasting From Negative Emotions
Today’s Fast: Today We Are Fasting from the emotion of… Self-Pity
I wanted to jump into your inbox to talk to you about self-pity.
Did you know that every second that you choose to wallow in self-pity that you are actually choosing to throw away your confidence? The bible says do not throw away your confidence. But each day that you give up on yourself and wallow in self-pity it’s like removing all of your confidence in God, walking towards a trash can and then throwing it out with the trash. In essence, throwing away your confidence aka self-pity is an act of disrespect to your personal being.

Hebrews 10: 35-36 “says….”Therefore do not throw away your
confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance,
so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.”
The
scripture starts by telling us ….do not throw away your confidence. So if
confidence in God and who we are in God can be thrown away. Then it also means
we can pick it back up. When we fall into self-pity we are actually throwing
away our confidence in the promises of God. And we need this confidence because
this type of confidence helps us to build endurance. This confidence has a
great reward which is the fulfillment of God’s promises. However, in order to
get the great reward we need endurance. The ability to keep on keeping on no
matter what comes at us or how many times we fall.
This
confidence that comes from God enables us to do the will of God and I’m sure
you know that staying in a place of self-pity is not the will of God for your
life, no matter how bad, mad or sad you feel about your situation.
Today is
a new day!!!
It’s new because the sun has risen this morning.
It’s new because you have arisen to meet it.
And the risen version of you has
the power and capacity to rise to the occasion and handle your business for
today.
Remind
Yourself: “Therefore do
not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you
have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may
receive what is promised.” (Hebrews 10:
35 – 36)

scripture from today’s message or you can pray about anything that’s on your
