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...

God Healed Me: Free From High Blood Pressure After 10+ Years

 

My Testimony: Faith, Breath, and Healing

There was a moment on my healing journey that tested my faith in a way I’ll never forget. I was out of town, far from home, and I realized I had run out of my blood pressure pills. For over 10 years, those pills were something I depended on every single day.

Normally, I would have gone into panic mode. But instead, something in my spirit said, Trust God.

I made a choice in that moment — not out of fear, but out of faith.
I told God, “If You are truly healing me like I’ve been praying for, then this is where I trust You.”

Through prayer, faith, and the simple yet powerful practice of intentional breathing, everything started to change.

Breathing became more than something I did automatically. It became a way to connect with God, calm my mind, release stress, and invite peace back into my body. I didn’t realize how much tension I had been holding until I started breathing on purpose — slowing down, expanding my lungs, and giving my nervous system room to reset.

When I returned home, I scheduled a doctor’s appointment to check everything properly. After being on blood pressure medication for more than 10 years, I wanted clear confirmation — not just how I felt, but real numbers.

They checked my pressure once.
Then again.
Then a third time.

And that final reading was good enough — low enough — for me not to need a refill on  pressure pills.

That moment was all the confirmation I needed. My body was steady. My pressure was normal. And the healing I had prayed for was real.

This wasn’t coincidence. It wasn’t luck. It was God’s power, God’s faithfulness, and God answering a prayer I hadn't been focusing on for years, but when I asked by prayer, not long after, I received.

I’m not telling anyone to stop their medication — I’m simply testifying that God still heals, and sometimes He gives us undeniable proof.

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” — Luke 1:37
