Biggest lie you believed this week in the market:
FAITH ANCHOR (Optional)
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” – Jeremiah 17:9
Let this truth guide your discipline. The market will tempt you to act on emotion. But we were not made to be tossed by every wave—we were called to be grounded.
Prayer Prompt:
“Lord, reveal to me any lies I’ve believed in trading. Make my heart honest. Let me operate from truth, not from fear, pride, or desperation.”
