The Invisible Crowbar

Why Your Nervous System Doesn't Forget Survival Mode

Here's what nobody talks about when you escape financial survival mode: your nervous

system doesn't get the memo.


For years, I lived hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute, robbing Peter to pay Paul.


The anxiety of not having enough became my body's default setting. Even when the

crisis ended, my nervous system kept running the same program.


This is the invisible crowbar most people carry long after the threat has passed.


Your body remembers every sleepless night spent calculating bills. Every moment you

held your breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. Every time you choose between

groceries and gas.


The healing isn't just financial. It's neurological.


Scripture tells us to guard our hearts because everything flows from it. But what

happens when your heart has been hardwired for survival? When peace feels foreign

because crisis feels familiar?


Jesus Christ, the Son of God, designed us for abundance, not scarcity. His economy

operates on provision, not panic. But rewiring decades of survival programming requires

the same intentionality that got you through the crisis.


Day by day. Moment by moment. Teaching your nervous system that safety is real.


What invisible crowbar are you still carrying, even though the danger has passed?
