Healing From Past Fear
Day 3 – Thursday, August 21, 2025

 Healing From Past Fear

Scripture: Psalm 147:3 (NKJV)“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Recap: The First Two Days

On Day 1, we learned that fear is a chain that lies about who we are and who God is. We confronted the reality that fear whispers false identities and paralyzes purpose.

On Day 2, we went deeper, exposing fear not as a mere emotion but as a spirit—an enemy strategy sent to keep us bound. We declared that in Christ we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Now, sisters, today we shift from breaking to building. The chains are broken, but now we must allow God to heal the bruises, scars, and soul-wounds fear left behind.

The Wounds Fear Leaves Behind
Fear doesn’t leave quietly—it leaves evidence. Some of us can still trace its fingerprints:
  • Sleepless nights filled with anxiety.
  • Walls built around our hearts to avoid being hurt again.
  • Distrust in God’s timing because we expected Him to fail us like people did.
  • Generational patterns of silence, shame, and survival that shaped how we love, live, and recover.
Sis, the truth is this: fear damages more than your emotions. It damages your faith, your confidence, your relationships, and even the way you see yourself. Fear is a spirit that leaves wounds deep in the soul—and wounds demand healing.

Entering God’s Healing Process
Healing from fear doesn’t happen overnight. Just as fear crept in slowly—through trauma, pain, and lies—God’s healing often unfolds as a process. Deliverance removes the chains, but healing restores the heart.

  1. Acknowledgment — Healing begins when we admit the fear existed and confess the damage it caused. We can’t heal what we keep hiding.
  2. Surrender — We place the fears of our past into the hands of the One who already overcame them at the cross. Healing happens when we let go of control.
  3. Renewal — God begins to re-train our thoughts, filling the places fear once occupied with His Word, His presence, and His peace.
  4. Wholeness — Healing is not just about feeling better—it’s about being restored. God doesn’t just want you free of fear; He wants you whole in mind, body, and spirit.
Fear Is Broken, Healing Is Here
Resilient Sister, hear me: fear is no longer your master, but you must allow God to be your Healer. The same God who broke your chains now wants to pour His oil over every wound. The spirit of fear may have caused damage, but God’s Spirit brings restoration.
When you let Him heal you:
  • Peace replaces panic.
  • Confidence replaces timidity.
  • Faith replaces doubt.
  • Wholeness replaces brokenness.
God is not just delivering you from something—He is delivering you into something: a life of courage, freedom, and unshakable faith.

Encouragement for Today
Sis, don’t carry old wounds into a new season. Healing is your inheritance. You no longer have to rehearse the old lies fear spoke over you. Your Father is rewriting your story with love, freedom, and victory.

Declare this today:
“The chains of fear are broken, and I am healed. My past no longer controls me. God is binding up my wounds, restoring my soul, and preparing me for the life He has already promised me.”

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.
