No longer held captive by…self-blame.
Continuous
apologizing
for others
actions,
words,
or
deeds,
is mentally
binding you
to the
ownership of
others problems.
It’s ok to
free yourself
from the
insanity.

Free yourself…
Free yourself
from excessive
perfectionism,
it’s an inhibited
attempt to
find your identity
within the borders
of others standards.
Free yourself

She once was lost…
She had been lost.
circling
endlessly
in the
familiar
yet
damaging
safe
space
within
her own
barriers.
Slowly
watching
the fibers
of her
identity
unravel,
fading away.
With
every
thread
being
pulled,
she could
no longer
sit still
willingly
giving it all away.
The one who had
been lost,
is no longer missing.

No longer held captive by…shame
She uncovered the secrets that haunted her in the middle of the night,
those undisclosed images that had been safely tucked away in the remote
areas of her mind, are no longer
given permission to run rampant
through her thoughts.
Courageously, she stood up
and faced those lies,
that had comfortably laid itself
dormant around the very core of her being.
She stripped herself of the heaviness,
that attempted to overshadow
every good thing.
And bravely, no longer allowed fear
to define her worth.

No longer held captive by…depression
It laid itself dormant amongst the
barriers of her heart,
the longing, in a hungry pursuit
of this illusion for happiness.
the place where she wrapped
herself in temporary moments
by filling each need with the status quo ego.
this perfect appearance
portrayed itself amongst the
imperfect deception.
but then,
in the most inconspicuous places
she found her Joy,
and as she engrossed herself,
she found this treasure
to be a gift,
and promised to never let it go.
In your presence is fullness of Joy- Psalm 16:11

No longer held captive by…shame
Every troubled heart
cries out to this earth for its relief,
but searching there alone,
won’t bring you peace.
Like moths to a flame,
disoriented by failed attempts to fill
your brokenness with good deeds.
This yearning for wholeness,
and the unending need
for acceptance,
can’t be found,
in the hands of others.
Free yourself from the weight of the
tattered alabaster box,
and receive the gift of significance.

No longer held captive by…anxiety
5…4…3…2…1…
frantic images are vividly playing out behind my eyes…
my mind is racing and all of my senses are heightened to the point that I literally want to RUN out of my own skin…
it’s a thief…
attempting to rob me of my tranquility…
what do I “see”
what do I “hear”
what do I “smell”
what do I “feel”
what do I “taste”
they say grounding brings me back to reality
it does….but then what?
I say….
i’m fleeing…
to my place of peace…
where He quiets my racing pulse…
and speaks peace to the frantic storm…
welcoming me with open arms…
I calmly exhale my fear…and inhale serenity.

When anxiety overwhelms me, your Word comforts me and brings me joy.
