How do I take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ? I promised you my "Six Practical Ways to Take Your Thoughts Captive." Here are my steps when I am overcome by fears, and I hope that this process will help you get comforted by God in the same way He comforts me.

Six Practical Ways to Take Your Thoughts Captive

Step 1. I examine my thoughts. What am I thinking?

Step 2. I pray for God’s comfort and to renew my mind.

Step 3. I read God’s word, study His promises, and devour His truth as it relates to my current situation.

Step 4. I declare relevant Biblical scriptures as God’s eternal truth.

Step 5. I intentionally choose to believe God’s promises and not my emotions.

Step 6. I practice Biblical affirmations, which I created and memorized to help me take every thought captive every time. It has to be a habit. Right now, every day, I declare the following Biblical affirmations for women.

I am not alone

I am never alone, God is always with me.

As I pass through the deep waters,

He holds me in the palm of His hand,

And I trust His protection guarantee.

I am powerful

I can do anything and everything through Christ.

To empower me, His precious life he sacrificed.

I am capable, competent, skilled, and effective.

Jesus gave me power and issued against my self-doubt directive.

I am victorious

I am more than a conqueror or a mere winner.

Even in afflictions and adversity, I have peace inner.

I find victory and joy. I grow in faith and hope.

Through trials, my intimacy with Christ grows in scope.

I am peaceful

I have peace in every way.

It is perfect. It is sacred.

All the time my Lord is near,

And by Him my life's directed.

I am protected

My God is with me and He strengthens me.

He upholds me with His righteous right hand.

He protects me from every evil and rescues me.

I don't fear as on God’s eternal promises I firmly stand.

I am faithful

I have faith in God, my Father.

I have faith in His great plan.

I have faith that He will honor

All His promises in my lifespan.

These are my exact "Six Practical Ways to Take Your Thoughts Captive." That’s how I deal with life’s adversity by taking every thought captive to obey Christ and God’s truth.
