Don't Get Stomped On

“God gives us free will. God does not want us to be stomped on. He does not want us taken advantage of“ - Wesleyne



This heartfelt prayer and subsequent reflection present a powerful journey from vulnerability to empowerment. Initially, there is a poignant confession of pain resulting from an unexpected revelation by a trusted individual. This pain, however deep, does not sever the connection to the divine but rather serves as a conduit, channeling these raw emotions towards a plea for healing, understanding, and resilience. The invocation subtly underscores the human tendency to get entangled in emotions, leaning into the faith that there exists a higher power that perceives our inherent goodness and is receptive to our agonies and aspirations.

Today, you will discern two primary lessons. Firstly, the inherent frailty and fallibility of humans. People, irrespective of their intent, can sometimes be the source of your pain, primarily due to their own imperfections and the universal trait of sinning. Recognizing this limitation not only offers you a more compassionate lens to view conflicts but also prevents you from having unwarranted expectations. Secondly, the narrative advocates for personal boundaries and self-respect. 


While God may be a source of solace and healing, your own agency in ensuring self-preservation and mental well-being is indispensable. It serves as a reminder that faith and personal strength are not mutually exclusive but rather complement each other. By setting boundaries, you will not only respect your own emotional space but also mirror the respect you deserve from others. Thus, while relying on God for healing and strength, it's equally vital to harness the power of free will to defend and prioritize your well-being.
