🤲🏼DAY 6 — Stop Checking Boxes to Feel Approved
Let’s talk about the quiet pressure most believers live under.
The pressure to:
- pray the “right” way
- say the “right” words
- read enough
- serve enough
- behave enough
- get it right enough
Somewhere along the way, faith turned into a checklist.
And now a lot of people don’t pray because they’re unsure if they’ve qualified to.
Ephesians 1:6 says:
“He has made us accepted in the Beloved.”
Read that again.
Accepted.Not tolerated.Not conditionally welcomed.Not “on probation.”
Accepted.
Before you prayed.Before you cleaned yourself up.Before you figured it out.
Box-checking says:
“I’ll come to God after I fix this.”
Grace says:“Come to God so He can help you through this.”
Box-checking says:“I need to earn His attention.”
Grace says:“You already have His heart.”
Here’s the hard truth
When approval is the goal, peace is impossible.
You’ll always feel like you’re doing too little…or not doing it right…or one mistake away from losing access.
But God doesn’t relate to you through performance.He relates to you through relationship.
Jesus didn’t die so you could keep auditioning.He died so you could rest in belonging.
Your obedience doesn’t make God love you.God’s love empowers your obedience.
When you stop checking boxes, your faith becomes lighter.Your prayers become honest.Your walk becomes sustainable.
Reflection
- What boxes do you feel pressured to check before approaching God?
- Where did you learn that love must be earned?
- What would change if you truly believed you are already accepted?
Declaration
I am already accepted in Christ.I don’t earn God’s love...I live from it.I release performance and receive peace.I walk with God, not audition for Him.
Tomorrow we’re talking about where begging actually comes from and why healing your past changes how you pray.
Stay with it.Freedom is happening. 🔥
