Breaking Free From Fear
Day 1 – Breaking Free From Fear

Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) — “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Sis, fear is something every one of us has wrestled with. Some of us grew up in fear. Some of us made decisions out of fear. Some of us stayed in situations we knew were breaking us because fear whispered, “You can’t do better.” Fear has a way of keeping you bound—bound to silence, bound to shame, bound to cycles you’re desperate to break.
But I came to tell you this: fear is not your portion. It is not who you are, and it is not from God. Fear is a spirit, an assignment sent by the enemy to paralyze your purpose. That’s why the Word says God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Which means when fear shows up, you already carry the authority to shut it down.

I know what it feels like to hesitate when God says move. To hear His voice but let the “what ifs” drown Him out. To wonder if you’ll fail again, if you’re enough, or if God really chose you. But listen to me—fear will always whisper, but it doesn’t get the last word. God does. And His Word says He will strengthen you, help you, and hold you up with His victorious right hand.

Sis, this is your moment. No more bowing to fear. No more shrinking back. No more rehearsing the lies the enemy planted in your mind. Today, I challenge you: write down one fear that has stopped you from moving forward. Rip that paper up as a prophetic act, and declare out loud, “God has not given me a spirit of fear!”
Fear may knock on your door, but you don’t have to let it in. Stand firm, because the same God who delivered you yesterday is still the God who’s holding you today.

Declaration: I will not live in fear another day. I reject its lies. I stand in God’s power, love, and sound mind—and I will walk in boldness from this day forward.

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
