Calamity. Crisis. Catastrophe.
My own mind is the adversity I face every day.
The voice inside my head calls me names that are degrading.
The voice inside my head talks about depraved things.
Overwhelming. Paralyzing. Schizophrenia!
Jesus Christ. Without Him I would have no hope. 
No joy. No contentment. No peace.
Or any kind of life that is worth living.
Word. The Word of God which is the Bible.
Fight. Weapon. The Word of God is the weapon 
that I use to fight the voice inside my head.
When the voice says degrading things, 
I say, “I am made in the image of God.”
When the voice says depraved things I say,
 “...whatsoever things are true...
whatsoever things are pure...whatsoever things are lovely...
if there be any praise, think on these things.” 
God’s Word conquers the voice every time.
I do more than just exist or merely survive 
the voice that occurs daily.
I am an overcomer!
Freedom. God’s Word frees me from anxiety, depression, 
worry and—the worst one—despair.
God’s Word is Holy. It is alive. 
It has all the power of uttering Jesus’s name.
I do more than just cope. I live an abundant life.
