I Stayed: Healing Past Hurt, Betrayal & Infidelityഉദാഹരണം

Plans To Prosper You

I pray this devotional has brought you growth and healing as it did for me. Healing is a process, so your journey is just beginning, but fight to embrace the journey and give yourself some grace. On days when it may seem rough, dust yourself off and try again, and go through this devotional as many times as you need to. Healing can be beautiful, depending on which lens you’re looking at it through. I compare it to going to the optometrist for an eye exam. The doctor will have you look through various lenses mounted on a machine called a phoropter. You’ll notice that some of the lenses are blurry and more difficult to see through than other lenses. The eye doctor knows this and is comparing the lenses by asking you which ones are better and which ones are worse. With God guiding you and walking alongside you through the process, you’ll find that the lenses become crystal clear. Don’t let go of His hand. God has plans for you, plans to prosper you and for you to succeed. Let’s end this devotional with a plan to renew your mind that will aid in your success.

Plan - Part One:

Learn your adversary: the enemy has no new tricks. He uses what he knows works over and over again. This means that when he knows what works for you, he will attack you in the same areas and in the same ways over and over again. Take note of the ways he attacks you so that you can prepare ahead of time for what you will do when the attacks come. Think of it like this, what kind of army knows that a fight is coming, but doesn’t plan for it? Plan to succeed.

Plan - Part Two:

Make a list of scriptures that speak to your situation and remind yourself of those scriptures when things are going well and when fighting gets hard. Feel free to use any of the scriptures that were included in this devotional. Commit these scriptures to memory so that you can easily recall them when you’re fighting your thoughts.

Plan - Part Three:

Make a list of things you need to break covenant with. Repeat the prayer below for each thing on your list. Some things you may need to break covenant with are anger, fear, lust, pride, rejection, jealousy, envy, abandonment, manipulation, control, lying, anxiety, panic attacks, inner vows, low self-esteem, lack, poverty, procrastination, comparison, people pleasing, deceit, inner vows, and witchcraft.

“Lord, forgive me for the things I have walked with that have been the opposite of You. I break covenant with ______ back three and four generations. Just like how Satan was thrown into the abyss in Revelation, I throw it into the abyss, close it, and put a seal on it, so that it can no longer deceive me.”

Plan - Part Four:

Make a list of people you need to forgive and pray for them daily. Remember, you forgive so you can live again. Do not be outwitted by the devil.

Plan - Part Five:

Reclaim your position in your home, in the ways described in day 9.

Plan - Part Six:

Take up the full armor of God as described in days 7 and 8.

Plan - Part Seven:

Continue journaling your thoughts and feelings daily. Be sure to include life statements in your journal entries.

Read and meditate on today’s scriptures and spend time journaling your thoughts and feelings. Conclude your thoughts with a life statement where you speak life to your situation. For example, "Today I’m feeling broken, but I will not always feel this way."

Keep fighting. Your journey toward healing is only just beginning. And as I always say, you will grow, you will overcome, and you will heal past hurt, betrayal, and infidelity.
