Consider the nature of your inner voice—how it has changed and where that change originated.
Scripture:
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
Devotional:
Your inner voice shapes the story you tell yourself every day. It can be harsh and condemning, or honest and forgiving. This voice affects your identity and your recovery journey. God calls us to guard our hearts carefully because the thoughts we nurture lead to life or death paths. Reflect on how your inner voice has shifted—did it soften with grace? Did forgiveness replace condemnation? Understanding this change reveals how God is working in your heart, molding a voice that encourages and uplifts instead of tearing down.
Reflection Prompt:
What does your inner voice sound like lately? Is it harsh, honest, forgiving, encouraging? Where do you think that shift came from?
Closing Prayer:
Father, guard my heart from negativity and self-condemnation. Teach me to listen to Your voice above all others, and help me nurture an inner voice that speaks truth, hope, and love. Amen.
Call to Action:
Today, catch yourself in moments of negative self-talk and replace those thoughts with one encouraging truth from God’s Word.
