Many of us are walking around with heavy loads of baggage. We feel weighed down by life’s problems and the obstacles we encounter.
Others are simply living in tiny boxes. We’ve put limits on what we believe we can do and have lost our sense of purpose—that feeling that we were made for something more.
There are “boxes” we may find ourselves in from time to time, but here are some tips to help you break out of them!

There are “boxes” we may find ourselves in from time to time, but here are some tips to help you break out of them!
Break out of pain and enter joy!
I am a positive person and believe in flipping things for the good, but I admit that life can be rough. It can be so discouraging at times that we don’t know which way is up or where to go from here.
As difficult as it may feel, begin to replace your cries of pain with shouts of determined, unshakeable joy! It is important to not believe these things and instead replace it with the reality of God’s love and Word.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 NIV
Break out of doubt and begin believing!
If you’re still doubting your worth and whether or not you have a purpose, begin praying and decreeing verses over your life daily that remind you of who you are in God.
Like this one:
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 NIV

I recommend even making it personal: “I am a chosen person, a royal priest …”
God has chosen you for such a time as this. He set you apart for this specific moment in history.

Break out of fear and enter perfect love!
The God who created the stars and calls them all by name … knows your name.
Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name. Isaiah 40:26 NASB
Our God even knows the very number of hairs on your head.
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid. Luke 12:7 NIV
So, don’t you think it’s about time you stopped playing small? Remind yourself that the God of the universe—the God who loves you—is telling you not to be afraid!
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 NIV
It’s time to break out of the boxes of pain, doubt and fear and enter into your destiny!
Blessings!
