Many carry the weight of poor past decisions and or abuse. They tried burying it deep but it stuck its head out through anger or lack of trust. They could not find healing, then came kids. They decided to change because of not wanting to pass it on to the next generation.

What about you? What helped you change? Forgive? Move on?

Maybe you haven’t been able to yet. I hope you find your healing.❤️‍🩹

I am not going to numb it by scrolling through my phone, but we do.

Many of us run to our phone and scroll, partly because it’s so easily accessible and there’s so much information available. The question is why are we so interested in other people’s lives? Why are other people’s posts making you moody or emotional?

Have you ever tried to put it down for six or eight hours? It’s very difficult. Endless hours of scrolling even though we know the right answers, says it really has a control on us.

Research shows that it builds anxiety. Yet we’re told in God‘s Word, be anxious for nothing but in everything in prayer let your request be known to God.

Honest prayer: God, I know that you’re trustworthy. I know that you won’t leave me or abandoned me. I know I am not supposed to be anxious. Help me not to feed the monster. Instead, help me pray more and lay it at your feet.

Maybe it’s not the Internet for you. Maybe it’s alcohol, maybe it’s overheating. Whatever your advice is go back and read that prayer.❤️ I just did.

If you’re telling yourself you don’t deserve a 2nd chance from God, remember you didn’t deserve the first one.

Micah 7:18 says, "Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love."

It’s not falling into something as much as it is sacrificing for someone. And that is selfless.
