Self-Sabotage and the Wisdom to See It


I almost didn’t blog today. I felt like I had nothing in particular to say—but as always, something stirred in me after my sessions. That’s why this is coming a bit late.
I’m constantly reminded of how privileged I am to do what I do. My clients teach me so much, and today was one of those moments that left me thinking deeply.
You know that scripture: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper”? We pray it often, passionately. But today, I was struck by a sobering thought—what if the weapon forming against me… is me?
It’s easy to look outward, to pray against external threats, but how often do we pause and examine the ways we might be standing in our own way? Self-doubt, fear, procrastination, comparison, pride—these can be the silent weapons we forge ourselves.
I’ve prayed that scripture countless times, but now I’m learning to pause before I do. I ask for grace to be more self-reflective, to sift through my own patterns and choices. I want to make sure I’m not unknowingly praying against myself.
So here’s my prayer today:
Dear Lord, help us to exercise wisdom in all we do. Teach us to confront the enemy within before we point fingers at the world outside. That’s where true growth begins.

Shalom 🙏🏼
