Me, Myself and Lies

I recently started a bible study entitled Me, Myself and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild. And it is amazing.
As women, young ladies and even little girls, I believe we feel our heads with untruths or Lies. Your fat, ugly, you will never be like _______________, your hands are ugly, you’re stupid, no one likes you, and you can’t count money, blah, and blah, blah. Unfortunately these thoughts run through our head between 100-300 times a minute. When the fact of the matter is that we should be concentrating or meditating on things of higher value. Such as our Amazing heavenly Father and the plans he has for our lives, and our we living to the best of our ability for Him. Rearranging our thoughts to be more like that of Christ.
I will remember the deed of the Lord; yes I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your works and meditate on your mighty deeds. Psalm 77:11-12
Then focus or meditate on Gods current provisions, promises and presence. Focusing our thoughts on truth not the lies that seem to beat us down on a daily basis.
As a mother of two girls I find myself constantly trying to build a firm foundation of Gods truths in their little formable minds so that when they do reach the tweens and teens they can combat these untruths or lies with Gods word. Knowing that they are made in His image, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and no matter what the world may try to put in their minds they can squash it with truth and hopefully not have to battle the daily nonsense that storms through my thoughts.
