"CHOOSING and SPEAKING TRUTH"

"...  Jennifer gives us a battle plan to help shut the door to those negative thoughts: The three R’s — Recognize, Refuse and Replace I know I find it hard to Refuse the “lie.” That’s the one “R” I want to work on this week. What’s the most difficult “R” for you? What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?" - See more at: P31 OBS and Jennifer Rothschild's book, "Me, Myself and Lies"

I am only highlighting this so you can link up or follow along with Proverbs 31 OBS who already do an exceptionally wonderful weekly discussion but there's quite often so many "comments" it's hard for me to connect but I love them, their choices for book studies and their team No reason for me to reinvent what they do so well
however
you are certainly welcome to comment here rather or in addition to there because I have so few comments, you're guaranteed that I won't miss it
I'll Repeat the questions (and that's not even one of the "R") here: What’s the most difficult “R” for you?  What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?"
For me, I'm sure I struggle with all 3 of the "R's" but initially it has to be "RECOGNIZE"
because often I don't realize that and recognize it as a lie but receive the lie as truth usually spoken by another but rehearsed and replayed in my mind without recognizing it as a lie or device of the enemy to mess me up but I am getting better at discerning a lie spoken to me
and I guess that if I knew the answer to the 2nd part of this ? I would have written JR's book and not be struggling with this, hoping I will learn from this book how to shut the door especially when the negative thoughts are mine or  spoken by me to others (but I sure hope not)

Going to try to do Fridays for Faith Gateway's OBS of "The Daniel Prayer" by Anne Graham Lotz [Kick-off] but I will share on SOS that week's link
Session 2 "Preparing for Prayer"
What are some areas you need to work on to better  prepare your heart to pray as Daniel did?
{but this is for Friday for me here, if I get to it before then;  if not, this will have to do-sorry}
