LESSON: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT
This week, I don’t want you to focus on doing everything. I want you to focus on building a habit — because this is where the real renewal work happens. Here’s why: insecurity is automatic. It shows up before you even realize it. That’s why most of us end up on autopilot — spiraling into overthinking, people-pleasing, or control before we’ve even stopped to name what’s going on.
Awareness is the first layer of transformation. You can’t renew what you won’t acknowledge. By slowing down to name your insecurity honestly, you interrupt the autopilot. You put language to what your heart is feeling. That simple pause is the first crack in the cycle.
Anchoring in God’s Word is the second layer. Neuroscience calls this rewiring — every time you replace a fearful thought with truth, your brain literally starts to lay a new pathway. Romans 12:2 calls it renewing your mind. When you practice this consistently, you’re not just “thinking positive” — you’re teaching your mind and spirit to default to God’s assurance instead of insecurity.
So this week, here’s your assignment:
Step 1: Catch It (Awareness)
-
Pay attention to one moment this week when you feel insecure or hesitant.
-
When it happens, stop and name it. Fill in this blank:
“I feel insecure right now because __________.”
Step 2: Replace It (Word)
- Open your Bible app or concordance.
- Find one verse that speaks directly to the fear behind your insecurity.
- Write it down in your own words, as if God is speaking it to you personally.
That’s it. One insecurity. One verse. One replacement. Do this once this week. If you repeat it more, that’s even better.
Don’t underestimate how powerful this is. Awareness and anchoring are the foundation. Once you can consistently catch insecurity and replace it with God’s Word, action flows naturally. This is how real mind renewal begins.
