READ
Philippians 4:8-9 (NLT)
“8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.”
Romans 12: 2-3(NLT)
“2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. 3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.”

REFLECT
In order to stop feeling like an imposter in faith, behave (think, act and feel) like a Christian. Learn His word and in so doing, find His peace and His will for you. Humbling yourself on the altar you can fully turn from sin and turn fully to Christ.

"And don’t let us yield to temptation but rescue us from the evil one. Holy Spirit, help me guard my heart against the evil one. Send your grace to me. Lord, open my mind as I read your word, and help me fortify myself against the temptations that take me away from your peace.”
