Something I've been doing for the past year, that I've learned through reading the Bible and listening to Joyce Meyer, is to speak God's Word out loud. I used to be a very negative talker. I think that was a major reason why I had so many negative things happen in my life: I was speaking them into existance. I SAID "everyone leaves me" "everyone hates me" "I'm so lonely" "I hate people"--- so those were the things that were true in my life. In the past year though, I've become a MUCH more positive thinker, gotten my thoughts under control and gotten my mouth under control. A great book of Joyce's is Me and My Big Mouth! which helps explain this concept.
Here are a few of the 3 pages worth of affirmations that I say outloud on a daily basis. What is really, truly incredible is that this WORKS. God is the one who makes it work-- not me. I hear these things coming out of my mouth, and I believe it, but its God's Word that has the power.
Some of these affirmations are things that are true already (such as being a child of God). Some of them are things that I am trying to achieve (such as peace in my mind, a good night's sleep, not worrying, etc.)
I have looked up scriptures that correspond with these affirmations, if you want to look them up. They might not correspond EXACTLY, but I think I got them pretty close:
