STOP GIVING YOUR POWER away.
Stop giving your power away.
Stop giving your power away.
I want to encourage you to hold onto your power and not
give it away to others. Your power lies within you, waiting
to be acknowledged and unleashed. Embrace your unique
strengths, talents, and abilities, and recognize the incredible
potential that resides within you. Trust in your own judgment
and discernment. Believe in your worth and the validity of
your voice. Remember that you have the right to set boundaries
and prioritize your well-being.

Don’t allow others to diminish your power or influence
your decisions. Instead, cultivate a deep sense of self-belief
and confidence, knowing that you have the strength to navigate
life’s challenges and create the future you desire. You
possess the power to shape your own destiny and live a life
that aligns with your values and aspirations. Embrace your
power, hold it close, and let it guide you to a place of empowerment
and fulfillment.

You have the power to reclaim whatever you may have
previously given to someone else who has spoken contrary
to what God has told you to do. It is common for us to feel
deflated or defeated when others tell us we are incapable of
pursuing what God has already called us to. However, it’s
time to put an end to allowing such influences to occupy
space in our lives.

When we surrender our power, we align ourselves with
others instead of aligning with God. Let us make the decision
to reverse that pattern and cease giving away our power. Take
a moment to reflect on your journey thus far and ask yourself,
“Whom have I given my power to, and what steps can I take
to reclaim it?” By taking ownership of your power once again,
you can confidently pursue the path God has laid before you.

Call to Action

I love what one of our viewers on News in Motion shared
on his Facebook post. He said that we need to hit the delete
button for people who have been speaking negatively. Identify
those toxic relationships that you may have and find a loving
way to get out. You don’t have to stay somewhere you don’t
want to stay; however, we have been conditioned to think
that we just must go with it. No, you don’t have to go with it.
Raise your voice and have a say to the life you are living. Let’s
hit the delete button.
