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.”

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie
