HEAL BOLDLY: Healing Is Holy Work - a 5-Day Devotional Journey for Women Ready to Heal, Grow, and RiseSample

DAY 4: What You Don’t Heal, You Carry

Scripture: “Let us throw off everything that hinders…” – Hebrews 12:1

🌿 Reflection:

Unhealed wounds don’t vanish on their own — they linger, growing heavier the longer we ignore them. When we avoid facing pain, trauma, or unresolved grief, those burdens sneak into every part of our lives. They affect how we show up at work, in our friendships, with family, and even in how we care for ourselves.

This invisible weight shapes our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, often without us realizing it. The constant effort to carry what should have been released drains our energy and dims our joy.

Healing matters — not just for your own wellbeing, but for the generations who come after you. When you break free from old wounds, you stop unhealthy cycles of pain and dysfunction. You create space for peace, hope, and freedom in your life and in the lives of those you love.

Remember, healing is a gift you give yourself and those who follow. You deserve to walk unburdened, with lightness in your step and clarity in your path.

You don’t have to carry what isn’t yours to bear.

🙏🏾 Prayer:

Lord, open my eyes to the burdens I’ve been holding onto. Help me identify what I need to lay down at Your feet. Heal the hidden places, and lift the weight that has slowed me down. I choose to walk forward in freedom, lightness, and peace.

📝 Prompt:
