My brain lies to me. It says that I am stupid, fat, ugly, unworthy. I says that people don't want to be my friends or spend time with me. It refutes the nice things people say and tells me they're lying.

"Daughter, you are loved."

My brain fills my days with judgement, to-do lists and reminders of stuff I need to do to be worthy. Sometimes the noise is too loud for anything else.

"Sister, you are loved."

My sleep is interrupted by people needing me and when I do sleep I am unsettled by my dreams and anxieties. Remembering things I need to do or things I need to remember.

"Friend, you are loved."

My brain lies.
God tells me the truth.
My heart is swayed.
The Father is true.
The enemy whispers lies.
The Shepherd leads me in the right way.

"Come to me, all who are weary and I will give you rest."

"My sheep hear my voice."

Thank you Father for being greater than my brain and better than my desires.
