Anchor Points | Ep. 158 | What If Self-Affirmations Are Making It Harder to Hear God?

Ever feel like you're saying all the right affirmations, but still coming up empty?

That’s the heart of today’s conversation.

Devin Almonte recently came across an article titled “50 Self-Affirmations to Help You Stay Motivated Every Day.” At first, the list sounded empowering:

“I am successful. I am confident. I am powerful.”

But the more she repeated them, the more something felt off.

Why didn’t it work? What was missing?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores:

1. Why “I am” affirmations left her feeling more pressure, not peace
2. What shifted when she focused on who God is, instead of who she’s trying to be
3. The surprising confidence that comes from relying on God’s character, not her own

Scripture (NIV):

“He must become greater; I must become less.” – John 3:30
