I need help. I have horrible self talk. Horrible. I say horrible mean things to myself that I would NEVER say to any other human. I lost weight. I put on muscle. I felt great! Then came the appendix and the knee. I've put on weight. I've lost muscle. I feel horrible.
I struggle so much with liking myself. I know all the answers, but maybe I still don't believe them? Why do I let Satan get in my mind like that? Why do I let him use me that way? He knows what works and I know he knows, but I still let him whisper in my ear.
Please pray for me. Pray that I'll lean on God. Pray that I'll stop trying to fight this battle alone, because I'm still trying to be super woman. Pray that my pride will lessen and that my confidence as a child of God will soar.
I am not what Satan says I am. I am a warrior for Christ and though Him I can do all things.
Do any of you have horrible self talk? What's been your best weapon against that?

Sure. Joyce Meyer has a book called Battlefield of the Mind that addresses this subject. I have not read the book, but I have seen several of her TV programs on this topic that were very good. Me...I try to quite my inner talk as much as I can since I am prone to have way too much of it...it's a waste of energy.
I used to struggle with lies I told myself. My counselor (Dr.Chris Thurman) described them as tapes that we play to ourselves over and over again. He (Chris Thurman) wrote a book called "The Lies We Believe". I highly recommend it (and peruse other of his titles that tackle the same subject)... I was fortunate enough to get counceled by this man, but his books contain the same wisdom, the same truths and the same council.
