After living years of verbal abuse, I felt completely disempowered. I didn’t even understand what it meant to have power over one’s life. For a long time, I didn’t realize I was disempowered. When you’ve lived in an environment where abuse is a daily reality, it can become your norm. In this space, I am dedicated to helping you reclaim your power and your self-dignity with God after being disempowered by verbal abuse.
Feeling Lost Without Direction
Even if I reconnect with my faith in Christ and feel so much better, I still have moments of powerlessness. The feeling of powerlessness creeps in when I lose my direction in life. I begin to feel powerless when I lose my direction. When I lose a clear vision and purpose, I let other people take control of the direction of my life. My projects don’t move forward, and I feel bad about myself. It’s a vicious cycle, but recognizing this pattern is the first step toward change. This feeling brings me right back to when I was living in a verbally abusive environment.
make Plans and act on it to Overcome the Sense of Disempowerment
The feeling of powerlessness often creeps in when we lose sight of our goals. When I lacked a clear direction, it was easy to fall into despair. But through prayer, journaling, and meditating on God’s Word, I learned to refocus and regain my vision. Jeremiah 29:11 reassures us, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This promise became a source of hope and direction for me.
How i Realized My Power Through Christ
The turning point came when I realized I had power through Christ. Feeling bad about not pursuing my dreams, I turned to God. I felt a need to push the negative energy out and channel it into something productive. By focusing on my personal projects and trusting in God’s plan, I began to move my life forward and felt empowered. To regain your power, take deliberate steps toward your goals with God’s guidance.
how to Find Your Passion after years of abuse
Identify the passions and strengths He has given you. What activities make you feel alive and purposeful? For me, channeling my energy into creative projects, with God at the center, was transformative. It brought me joy and fulfillment, knowing that I was expressing myself as God intended. Remember, God wants you to express yourself and use the gifts He has given you. Through His love and strength, you can reclaim your power and live a life full of purpose and joy. When living through years of emotional abuse, it can be tough to know what you want and what you like. We have had to adjust to the needs of everyone and we learn to be numb to our desires. Start by only noticing the way your body feels to different stimuli and notice it. Do you feel crisp when eating chicken or relaxed when listening to pop music? After doing this exercise for a while you will know the things that make you feel good and the ones that make you feel bad.
Use your creative Voice for Purpose
As I regained my power, I found my voice. I discovered a deep purpose in helping other Christian women to express themselves. Disempowerment is a common struggle, but gaining back your power is possible. Through creative expression and finding your passion, you can reclaim your life. Creative expression is a powerful tool for healing and empowerment. Whether it’s through writing, art, music, or another form of creativity, find a way to express your inner thoughts and emotions. Also take advantage of the gift of the Father by using the blood of Jesus to help you heal from the abuse. This process can be incredibly liberating and can help you reconnect with your true self.
ultimate personal power is only found in christ
Healing from disempowerment and finding your purpose is a journey that requires time, patience, and a deep connection with God. By understanding your identity in Christ, using your voice for a greater purpose, and expressing yourself creatively, you can reclaim your power and live a life full of passion and purpose. Remember, you are a beloved child of God, deserving of love and respect.
