Holding It In Makes You Sick: The Hidden Cost

-
Image
  Many of us grow up learning to “be strong,” “push through,” or “keep it together.” But what we rarely talk about is the weight that comes with carrying emotions we never release. Anger. Bitterness. Jealousy. Resentment. Unforgiveness. Hidden hurt. Silent disappointment. These emotions don’t stay neatly tucked away in the heart. The body feels them. The mind reacts to them. And the soul holds them like unspoken stories. The Body Keeps the Score When we bottle up hard emotions, the body shifts into a subtle form of stress response. Even if we smile on the outside, our inside is tightening, guarding, bracing. Over time, suppressed emotions can contribute to: Chronic tension Anxiety and irritability Fatigue and sleep issues High blood pressure Weakened immune system Digestive issues Emotional numbness or shutdown What stays unspoken becomes stored. And what stays stored eventually surfaces — often through the body. Spiritual Truth: God Never Designed Us to...

As A Man Thinks In His Heart

-




As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7

This Word speaks of the transformative power of thought and mindset.
What we believe and focus on can shape our identity and actions. 

What we constantly think about becomes our inner reality, and that reality eventually manifests outwardly.

Internal Beliefs:

These are the quiet convictions that run beneath our conscious thoughts. They're shaped by our past, environment, and experiences, but they hold the power to:

  • Define our self-worth

  • Determine our choices

  • Attract or repel opportunities

  • Affect our mental and spiritual health

If someone constantly thinks they’re unworthy, for example, they may subconsciously reject love, success, or peace— if it's available to them, because they have programmed their mind to believe they do not deserve anything good.

Meditation:

Biblical meditation isn’t just emptying the mind—it’s about filling it with truth. It helps to:

  • Renew the mind (Romans 12:2)

  • Rewire negative thought patterns

  • Strengthen faith and clarity

  • Align beliefs with God’s word

     Meditating on Scriptures, like Proverbs 23:7, allows you to reshape those internal thoughts that became beliefs but are not in alignment with the Word of God. Repeating truths like “I am loved,” “I have a purpose,” or “God is with me,” creates new mental pathways that change how you live and see the world.

    Scripture:

    Ephesians 1:4 – just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

     2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; Old things have  passed away, behold, all things have become new.

     Romans 8:16-17 – The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,

     Affirmation:

    These can be used for journaling, posting, or prayer:

            I am chosen by God and deeply loved.
            I am redeemed and made new through Christ.
            I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
            I am not my past—I am a new creation.
            I am strong in my weakness because God’s grace sustains me.
            I am God's masterpiece, created with purpose.
            I am never alone—He is always with me.

  Anxiety can be overwhelming, but through faith, meditation, and self-awareness, it’s possible to cultivate peace and resilience. These three elements work together to help you navigate uncertainty, release fear, and reconnect with your inner strength. 1. Strengthening Faith Faith is a powerful anchor in the midst of anxiety. It allows you to trust in a higher power, release control over what you cannot change, and find comfort in divine guidance.  Here’s how to deepen your faith to combat anxiety: Daily Prayer & Scripture – Speak with God regularly and meditate on scriptures that offer peace and reassurance (e.g., Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 41:10). Surrender Your Worries – Practice letting go of what troubles you by verbally giving your burdens to God.
