Sometimes Pressing Pause Is Healing

Image
  One of the greatest lessons I've learned on this healing journey is that healing isn't always about moving constantly. Sometimes it's about knowing when to stop. I recently had to pause my 365 Days of Healing series because of a critical family emergency. Out of respect for my loved ones and their privacy, I won't be sharing the details. I simply ask for your prayers and understanding during this time. At first, I wanted to push through. I wanted to keep creating, encouraging, and showing up every day. But I realized something important: I cannot pour into others when my own mind, heart, and body need rest. For many of us, especially those who have lived in survival mode, we believe stopping means failing. We feel guilty for resting. We think we have to keep going no matter what. But that's not what healing is about.

All That God Has for Me

 


I want everything God has for me.
Nothing more, nothing less, nothing outside His will.

I want to go where He leads,
learn what He teaches,
release what He removes,
and receive what He gives.

I don’t want blessings that come with confusion,
I don’t want doors He did not open,
I don’t want relationships He did not send,
I don’t want success that costs my peace.

I want the life God designed for me
before fear, before pain, before doubt.

I want His promises in my spirit,
His healing in my body,
His wisdom in my decisions,
His provision in my finances,
His order in my family,
and His love in my relationships.

I surrender my timing,
my understanding,
my plans,
and my expectations.

Lord, let Your will be done in my life completely.

If I have to grow, grow me.
If I have to wait, steady me.
If I have to let go, strengthen me.
If I have to move, guide me.

I want everything You have for me…
and I want to become everything You created me to be.
