Why You Question Yourself After Everything You’ve Been Through

Sometimes after going through painful seasons, rejection, or disappointment, we begin to question ourselves. We wonder if we made the wrong choices or if something is wrong with us.

In this short message, I talk about why those thoughts can happen after difficult experiences and how healing begins when we allow God to restore our identity and confidence.

If you’ve ever found yourself replaying the past or doubting who you are because of what you went through, this message is for you.

You question yourself about everything you've been through. Well, let's talk about it. First, I'm gonna need you to stop. Yeah, I'm gonna need you to stop. Because you gotta remember that what you've been through was a part of your life, a part of your journey, a part of your story. And no amount of how many times you replay actions, because you know how it is when something can happen in your life, you know, maybe a little disagreement, a little argument or whatever, and you're like, Man, I should have said this. I should've said that. That time is past. You can't resay it, you can't go back and say it and say, hey, excuse me, I meant to say this. So you cannot do that about your life. You have to just accept the fact, accept it, yeah, accept it, that those things happened, but you are here now. What can you do to help your story moving forward? What did you learn from that season of life? Who do you not want to be around anymore? Who you who have you realized that just drains your energy, pulls on you? What situations have you been in that you did not like the the outcome, or you didn't like the way you looked or the way you came off? All these things in our life are just learning tools. Now, we gotta remember too. Now we go through things, a lot of times people have forgotten about it, people have moved on, but you are left with the burdens, you are left carrying those things, those desires, and things that the Lord definitely does not want you to hold on to, right? So we gotta take no thought for tomorrow because we don't know what's gonna happen, and you definitely cannot just be keep remembering the past because you're only just staying stuck back there, and you cannot see or you cannot have better desires to be better, to do greater things if you're always stuck in that past time. And if someone is trying to keep you back in the past, you gotta tell them like this thing, I move into bigger and better things in the Lord, in the Lord now, okay. In the Lord, not none of the other stuff. I'm working on myself, I'm trying to be better, I'm trying to do better, and I don't want to stay stuck there because once you tell yourself that you are moving forward, you are coming up out of the past, the enemy will definitely come. Definitely bring somebody from the past, bring up a situation from the past, allow someone to try to take you back there to remember this, and you gotta say, uh-uh, I am done with that. I am moving into a greater me, and you, I'm not gonna allow you or anybody else to take me back there. Uh-uh. I was back there by myself too long, and I do no longer am I going to be stuck because I got to look forward, right? I gotta look to the heels, okay? Because God is greater, okay, and then anything else. So you can always leave the word pray or prayer in the comment section below where I will send you a link to a prayer form where we can be praying on things together, and you also can book a one on one with me, okay, and we can talk about some things, all right? So you be blessed, and I will catch you in the next one.
