Write them deep within your hearts. -Proverbs 3:3(NLT)
DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEART
A poem and essay by ILMA
When there is a lie that is presented to you
Run to Scriptures and let your mind be renewed
Meditate on truth day and night; write it
Feed on the message; constantly speak it.
The Lord wants you to store it deep in your heart
It will make you strong and make you win the war
The word of God is the sword of your spirit
Use it to attack the lies that the enemy spits.

Writing therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the act of writing and processing the written word as therapy. Expressive writing is a form of writing therapy developed primarily by James W. Pennebaker in the late 1980s. Studies have shown that expressive writing results in significant improvements in various biochemical markers of physical and immune functioning.
I could attest to the value that expressive writing has contributed in helping me manage my emotional traumas. Journaling the traumatic events made me look into the past incidents in a more objective way, but it wasn’t until I became a born again Christian that got healed. It was the word of God that released me from all the strongholds and traumas. The bible tells us to write Scriptures deep within our hearts.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your words of wisdom when I need it.
REFLECTION
Has the word of God convicted you of anything in your life?
