I can’t recommend Scripture memory enough. We’re going to meditate. Our minds naturally think habitually. We ruminate on ourselves, our offenses, fears, cravings, jealousies, resentments & how everybody’s let us down. But what if we formed a habit of thinking on the Lord’s words?
This practice was the way the Lord first began to set me free from tormenting mental strongholds. It didn’t mean that I never thought of my past again and the things I had been through and the things I had done. But it meant those were not the only things I fixated on anymore.
To me, freedom in Christ from the bondage of my past doesn’t mean those things no longer enter my mind. It means those things no longer have dominion over me. Our thoughts are fuel. Meditation drives motivation. We’re motivated by our meditations whether positively or negatively.
If we want to be free, we’ve got to start by thinking on what we’re thinking on.
anyway, I want you to know I’ve known such failure & misery. I lived in cyclical defeat. Made destructive decisions. If Jesus would be so kind to set me free, he would be so so kind to you, too.

Never forget as long as you live that the Great Physician came for the sick. The Savior of the world came for sinners. The Lord of all creation came to be gentle master to all those who’d been under the yoke of tyrants, terrors and tormentors. Do not despise that you need Jesus.
