When you keep blaming yourself for what you did not know

Psalm 34:18

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.

When you keep blaming yourself for what you did not know. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. Healing does not require pretending it did not hurt. Jesus Christ can meet you in the wound without letting the wound become your identity. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Jesus, I do not want an old pattern making today's decision for me. Renew my mind, steady my emotions, and lead me in truth. You are Lord here too. Amen.
