Declarations to Fight Back against Rejection

If Scripture is to be our go-to, our place to run to find truth, comfort, and a proper perspective when rejection comes our way, which of the over 31,000 verses in the Bible will help us? When my mind is swirling in schemes to find the perfect response and my heart is screaming with pain and anger, when I start to feel those old reactions threatening, how do I get on a healthy and godly path?

I’ve compiled 37 Scriptures into six declarations to help break the power of rejection whether it has just happened or if my mind has dredged up something old and ugly from long ago. And although it is probably most effective to formulate your own declarations, I want you to have access to mine to build upon or to get you started. Recite one over the next six days and then formulate one or more as the Holy Spirit leads you.

Having these scriptural declarations printed and in a place we see regularly and can quickly and easily get our hands on, keeps us from getting trampled in those moments when rejection has sucked the air out of us and we are unable to remember on our own what God says.

Remember, “the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Heb. 4:12). God’s Word is your most powerful weapon. Use it!
