My For When Letters aren’t for others, but for yourself. This letter is for when you feel discouraged. It’s very important to talk nicely to yourself. You cannot take care of others if you don’t make your own mental health a priority. I went through a downward phase in my life where I needed help. Everyone around me always needed my help, but my battery was drained until I realized that I needed me. Nobody asked how I was doing. So, I found therapy in writing letters to myself. These letters are as transparent as they are needed to be. No matter what you’re feeling, rereading a letter is a reminder to have hope and keep fighting.
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
Deutoronomy 31:6
Dear sis,
Believe in yourself girl, because you gotta see things through to the end. Don’t be afraid, for you have the support of ten thousand angels by your side. Get back in the game because it is the only way to see if you win.
You are stronger than your fears and anxiety. You are glorious because God said you are glorious. Fear and anxiety have no power in your life unless you let them.
And if you don’t see this power in yourself, let these words remind you who you are.
You are a queen, and queens do not bow down to failure, insecurity, or fear. Queens don’t cower or hide; they put their crown on and face their fears with righteousness, poise, and grace.
God Gave you the power to be a queen, don’t let Him down. Reclaim your faith, reclaim your passion, and decide from this minute forward whether you will hide in fear or stand in power & glory. God is with you and He’s never left your side. He sat with you through your tears, and will still stand with you in your moments of greatness.
So don’t be afraid, but rather let Satan be afraid. Reclaim your courage and strength, and the enemy will flee. Let evil know that it will have no place in your life.
Put on your crown of courage. Put on your gown of bravery. Give the devil something to be afraid of. God says there is a life inside of you that is abundant. So queen, put on your crown and sneakers…you have a game to win. <3
Love,
Sophia
This letter is for when you feel discouraged. Reread it as many as times as you need for your personal motivation and self-healing. You have complete power over your life, even if you don’t see it yourself. Feeling discouraged is just that…a feeling. Feelings will pass the same way the sun rises in the morning. Give yourself some grace. You can do this, sis.
