You will not see goodness when it comes, you won't because your eyes are on the trauma.”\n\n\n\nHear more about Susie’s battle against life’s curveballs when you tune in to the full episode. You can also check out Susie’s first episode with us as a guest in Season 3 Episode 2.\n\n[19:01] The Recipe for Vitality\n\nSusie emphasizes that she has gained more in Christ and highlights the importance of thinking rightly about God to receive His blessings.\nLiving in self-preservation prevents us from experiencing God’s miracles and goodness; we must work on our hearts to receive His answers.\nDeep rest in purposeful faith is vital for soul replenishment and engaging in our faith restores peace.\n\n[26:53] Learning From The Past’s Mistakes\n\nScripture invites us to remember God's work and trust Him with our lives, avoiding self-preservation despite fears.\nRecognizing God’s daily mercies and expressing perpetual awe for His kindness can strengthen and restore our souls.\n\n\n\n[30:44] Susie: “His mercy is what covers us time and time again. We should be in perpetual awe of the kindness of God, the mercies of God. It’s because of His great love we are not consumed. His compassions never fail, his mercies are new every morning.”\n\nThe Israelites were quick to forget God’s care for them and were quick to turn away from Him because of fear. Susie also battled fear her whole life. However, she learned to face them through God’s strength.\n\n[33:00] The Power of Words and Declarations\n\nFaith declarations are our statement of who God is, that God loves us and will fulfill His promises to us.\nBrain retraining is meant to help us identify ourselves as sons and daughters of God.\nBoth of these practices help interrupt rogue thoughts by being spoken aloud. Speak your declarations over your life especially those that resonate with you.\n\n[39:07] Slaying Your Inner Critic\n\nUnresolved hurts and self-contempt create opportunities for the enemy; resolving them in God’s love closes these openings.\nSeek support to process unresolved hurts in the light of God’s love and trust the Holy Spirit to guide and correct them.\n\n[40:37] Susie: “When you allow those hurts, those hard parts of your story to go unresolved in light of God’s love, they're like open loops and they're opportunities for the enemy to accuse God and accuse you.”\n\n[43:24] Imprinting Your Hope, Faith, and Belief in God in Your Heart\n\nSusie is always striving to get closer to God. Recently, she attended a conference with Dr. Reimer. The conference became a safe space to bring out these unresolved pasts into God’s light.\nDespite new traumas, remembering God’s love and focusing on Him allows us to see through the enemy’s lies.\nKeep your hope alive and you’ll eventually learn how to let go of past trauma. Remember who God is, trust that He is good and that He loves you.\n\nAbout Susie\n\nSusie Larson is an author, speaker, and host of the popular radio show, Susie Larson Live.
