Why do our knee jerk reactions and harmful thoughts persist after we have found a Higher Power and are recovering from addiction or abuse? Repeated thoughts, whether of our own making or of the enemy, have created ruts in our brain synapse and nervous system, and belly-brain.
Deprivation leaves thick scars in our psyche, nervous system, Deep paths have formed in the brain, our nervous system, our behaviors and emotions. And will surface in our responses to perceived threats.
We have been conditioned to be on guard by our abusers and neglectful caretakers. Once the thoughts take root we doubt our God-given voice and true identity. We start to doubt once again,’if there is a God, it is certainly not helping me.’ How would you like to think? What are the obstacles? Who can help in your journey?
Listen to your inner thoughts. Who is speaking? Journal or tell someone else, so you can better reckon if it is your own motivations, the enemy’s voice or God’s inspiration.
Discovering that your faulty thinking has been taught and can be unlearned opens the door to new possibilities!
