Let's Heal Together!

Many of us have been surviving for so long that we stopped questioning the weight. We adjusted. We adapted. We became “strong.” We learned how to function with chronic exhaustion, emotional self-neglect, inconsistent relationships, and unspoken resentment—and then we called that maturity. But healing does not begin where coping is constantly justified. Healing begins where truth interrupts what you’ve learned to endure.

So if “God as Father” makes you uncomfortable, guarded, or quietly skeptical… take a breath. That’s not rebellion. That’s history talking. And no, pretending you don’t feel that way hasn’t actually healed anything yet. (Ask me how I know... 😌)

When we crown our experiences as truth, we quietly put God on trial. We judge His character through the lens of our disappointment. We measure His faithfulness by how predictable He’s been. And then we wonder why our faith feels fragile and our emotions feel chaotic.

Well, let’s just start with the truth we don’t like to admit: half of our emotional chaos isn’t even coming from life — it’s coming from the storyline we secretly wrote for God without giving Him a copy of the script. 

It’s when you slap a Bible verse on top of a deep wound and call it “trusting God.”It’s when you tell yourself you’ve “forgiven and moved on,” but you can’t stand to hear that person’s name. It’s when you keep saying “God’s got it” — but your chest tightens every time the memory resurfaces.

You know exactly who you are. You’re the dependable one. The go-to. The “you got this” friend. The one who holds it all together when everyone else is coming unglued. You pray for people when they’re falling apart — and then go cry in your car afterward because you can’t even remember the last time someone asked you if you were okay.

It’s easy to become emotionally unavailable and call it “self-awareness.” It’s easy to detach and call it “discernment.” But God doesn’t heal you so you can become colder — He heals you so you can love better.

So, let’s talk about how to actually survive when life feels upside down—when you’re trusting God, but your emotions are bouncing from faith to fear to frustration and back again like an Olympic gymnast.

But what I am saying is that not everything that feels scary, overwhelming, or uncomfortable deserves to be labeled “anxiety.” Sometimes it’s just plain ol’ fear. And fear, my friends, is something Scripture has a lot to say about.

Ignoring your emotions doesn’t erase them—it just buries them alive, and buried emotions don’t die; they leak out. In your tone, your choices, your relationships, your health.

Basically, faith-aligned decisions save you from messy detours—and you don’t end up crying in your car over something God never told you to choose in the first place.

Overthinking convinces you that running every possible scenario will protect you. But here’s the truth: all it really does is keep you stuck, create false narratives that don’t even exist, and rob you of peace. It’s like paying rent in a house you don’t even live in.
