I learned a lot from reading Becoming Resilient from Donna Gibbs so I was looking forward to diving into her newest book “Silencing Insecurity”. I was not disappointed.
Gibbs thoughtfully and with wisdom describes so many of the mental, emotional, and spiritual mind games that Satan plays with us daily. I’m so familiar with these mind traps. The mind trap that plaques me the most is the comparison game. I do this all the time, especially when it comes to the exercises I have to do. I feel like an old lady when I do them. I don’t know why. I just do. I know understand that this is the plaque of doubt that Satan has placed in my mind to keep me from accomplishing my goals and the things that God has placed in my heart. I’m strong with God and I know this. Still the comparison of others darkens my mind and it sometimes stops me from moving through the obstacles.
Gibbs books gives some tools to help you through the obstacles and conquer. I love how she explains the armour of God and that this is our most valuable tool from God.
This is a great book for the chronically ill person to read and remember that God uses us all to accomplish His goals, even an ill person like me.
