What is an Affirmation?
af·firm·a·tion
- the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed
- emotional support or encouragement.
An affirmation can also be used interchangeably with positive affirmations. This is the practice of positive thinking and often embracing self-empowerment.
Positive affirmations are simple sentences that people use to describe how they want to be, or how they want their circumstances to be, in a way that affirms that it’s already true, or on its way to becoming true.
Christian Affirmations
Of course, I love the idea of positive affirmations. those who know me, know that I like to stay positive, speak positivity, and think positive thoughts. So instead of just embracing positive affirmations, I decided to dwell specifically on Christian affirmations. In fact, I scoured the internet for some of my favorite Bible verses that can be used as a positive affirmation.
