Or what was originally called "20 CANS of Success"
I came across this paper that I saved from a church retreat some 20+ years ago; thought I'd share it.
It's old, and faded, so I retyped it, copy/pasted here.
1. Why should I say I can’t when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)?
2. Why should I worry about my needs when I know that God will take care of all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philipians 4:19)?
3. Why should I fear when the Bible says that God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind ( 2 Timothy 1:7)?
4. Why should I lack faith to live for Christ when God has given me plenty of faith (Romans 12:3)?
5. Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God (Psalms 27:1; Daniel 11:32)?
6. Why should I allow Satan control over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)?
7. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in victory (2 Corinthians 2:14)?
8. Why should I lack wisdom when I know that Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom generously when I ask Him for it (1 Corinthians 1:30; James 1:5)?
9. Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind that the great, faithful love of the Lord never ends, and His mercies never cease, beginning afresh each morning (Lamentations 3: 21-23)?
10. Why should I worry and be upset when I can cast all my problems on Christ who cares for me (1 Peter 5:7)?
11. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is freedom where the Spirit of the Lord is (2 Corinthians 3:17)?
12. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I won’t be condemned because I am in Christ (Romans 8:1)?
13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me or forsake me (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)?
14. Why should I feel like I’m cursed or have bad luck when the Bible says that Christ rescued me from the curse of the law that I might receive His spirit (Galatians 3:13-14)?
15. Why should I be unhappy when I, like Paul, can learn to be satisfied in kinds of conditions (Philippians 4:11)?
16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin for me so that I might become acceptable to God (2 Corinthians 5:21)?
17. Why should I feel that others are out to get me when I know that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Romans 8:31)?
18. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His Spirit who lives in me (1 Corinthians 2:12 & 14:33)?
19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Romans 8:37)?
20. Why should I let the pressure of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its problems (John 16:33)?
