We have all been negatively affected by something or someone in our lives. You lose a job, your love decides to leave, someone close to you passes away, and friends don’t turn out to be who you thought they were.
All of these things negatively hurt and can cripple you if you let them. You’ve heard the phrase, “Fake it until you make it.” No matter what “it” is, masking what causes you pain, hurt, and anxiety will only make the feelings grow out of control over time.
Before you know it, you’re in over your head and overwhelmed. The emotional damage you hold on to will eventually seep into every area of your life.
Past hurts and wounds from abuse for instance can limit you from fully loving a boyfriend/girlfriend and even cause marital issues if left unaddressed down the road.
God wants you to have the best life He has to offer you. In order to live out what He’s planned in advance for you, you have to give all your worries and wounds to Him—saturated your life in prayer.
This is a process that gets easier over time through praying without ceasing and just giving your requests to God. Nothing is too big or small for Him to overcome.
When you live in a mindset of prayer instead of pain, you can thank Him in advance for what you already know He’s going to do. Letting things go and allowing Him to work in you is the key to having your heart and life restored.
Only then will you experience His perfect peace and unending joy. How has your life been made new again through the power of prayer?
