God Is Softening What Became Guarded
There was a time when you felt everything deeply.
Then there was a time when feeling became too expensive.
So you learned how to numb quietly.
Not completely.
Just enough to function.
Now God is not shattering your walls.
He is gently warming them.
🕊️ Prayer of the Day
Lord,
I bring You the places in me that learned to close in order to survive.
The subtle ways I stopped letting life fully reach my heart.
The parts of me that became careful, distant, and internally armored.
I don’t judge that version of myself.
I understand why I needed protection.
Now I ask You to slowly soften what hardened.
Not all at once.
Not violently.
But at the pace of safety.
Help me feel again without drowning.
Help me open without losing discernment.
Help me experience connection without bracing for loss.
Teach my heart that it can stay open and still remain protected.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
