Convo with the Stro's

Have you ever felt like no one understands what you're going through? Like you're the only one struggling, hurting, or facing impossible circumstances? That voice in your mind whispers, "You're alone in this". That's a lie the enemy loves to tell because isolation breeds hopelessness.

"When we change our belief system we transform our minds"The Bible warns us not to be conformed to the world—or even our past—but to be transformed by renewing our minds.We must identify the lies by asking God to reveal the beliefs in your life that don’t align with His truth.Freedom comes when we identify and replace false beliefs with God’s truth.Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Romans 12:2

It means putting the health of the relationship above our pride and seeking God’s guidance in how to respond.A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.Proverbs 15:1

We deep dive into the stories that we all tell ourselves to justify our behaviors or understandings. We must become aware of not only the story we tell ourselves but the story our spouses tell themselves.
