Journey of My Heart
Box 4
My Reaction
Confess & Repent- Our instant, “go to” reactions: sinful acts or unhealthy behaviors that hurt connection.
- This is where Enemy strongholds, attachments, and soul ties are acted on.
- Record your reactions and bring them to Jesus and the cross for confession and repentance.
Box 3
My Destructive Thoughts
Renounce Audibly- Destructive thoughts and lies that come from emotional pain.
- The Enemy uses that pain to hijack our thinking and attack our self-worth, identity, and standing in Christ.
- These thoughts drive our reactions.
- Record every lie, bring it under obedience to Christ, and renounce it out loud.
Box 5
My Conversations with Jesus
Rest & Recalibrate – Room of Grace- Jesus’ responses in conversational prayer.
- Bring your experiences (Box 1), pain (Box 2), lies (Box 3), and reactions (Box 4) to Jesus for healing and cleansing.
- He may answer through songs, Bible verses or stories, mental pictures, feelings, or truthful thoughts.
- Journal what He reveals, then rest and recalibrate in God’s grace.
Box 2
My Feelings
Accept, Understand & Care- Core emotional pain from our experiences. Like Box 1, we didn’t choose these feelings.
- These feelings push us toward destructive thoughts.
- Record your pain words. The strongest reveal your core pain, which we need our spouse to accept, understand, and care for.
Pain words — tap all that apply
Box 1
My Experiences
Identify Pressure Patterns- Painful experiences, pressure patterns, and trauma we did not choose.
- Things that happened repeatedly but shouldn’t have, and emotional needs that went unmet.
- These lead to our wounds (feelings), lies (thoughts), and unhealthy behavior (reactions).
- Record them here, including any main instigators.
