Before We Shout “Happy New Year”… Let’s Get Real.
Before we get excited about a new year, we have to acknowledge what we refuse to carry into it. Because let’s be honest when the clock strikes 12, we don’t magically become healed, free, and whole. If we don’t confront it… We carry it. So grab your notebook and a pen Because we are uprooting some things TODAY. We are laying it bare before the Lord and asking Him to heal us not with a bandage… but with FIRE. 🔥 Last year’s faith won’t carry us through this year. We’ve got to confront the mess, release what’s been weighing us down, and get into alignment with God fully and honestly. Write these in your notebook and answer them truthfully: 1. What emotional wounds am I pretending don’t hurt anymore, but still do? 2. What unhealthy parenting habits or reactions do I need God to break off of me? 3. Where have I allowed fear, trauma, or exhaustion to parent my children instead of wisdom and love? 4. What do I keep saying “that’s just how I am” about even though I know God is calling me higher? 5. Who or what am I still carrying in my spirit that God has been asking me to release? 6. Where have I stopped trusting God and started trusting my own survival mode instead? 7. What patterns in my family line do I see trying to repeat through me or my children? 8. What do I need to repent for not in shame but because I’m ready to be free? 9. Where do I feel spiritually asleep, disconnected, numb, or distracted? 10. If I fully surrendered my parenting, my healing, and my life to God what would need to change? Sit with these. Cry if you need to. Be honest really honest. PRAY THIS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT God, I come to You uncovered no walls, no pretending, no filters. Search me. Reveal me. Heal me. Deliver me. Transform me.Anything in me that is not like You Uproot it. Burn it. Break it. Heal the parts of me that still bleed. Break the patterns I’ve been repeating without even realizing it. Free me from anger, fear, shame, regret, and emotional exhaustion. I surrender my parenting, my family, my wounds, and my future back into Your hands.
