Shortly after my divorce, as my system moved out of survival mode and back toward felt safety, I began to explore deeper layers of wounding that had been formed in my marriage.
I often felt like I was simultaneously both not enough and too much.Â
I felt alone — like it was all on me, and I had to execute perfectly in order to be okay. Â
And I wondered if, at any given moment, every good thing I’d built into my new life would be ripped away. Surely the other shoe was about to drop.Â
Whenever these trauma-shaped feelings appeared, I used the tools I teach in Restore to help my body feel safe and connected. I used somatic work to speak my nervous system’s language of sensation; I engaged visualizations that flooded my brain with pictures of support and safety; and I did parts work to develop trust with the parts of my heart that felt afraid and ashamed. Â
But I also know that even with our most effective tools for healing the nervous system, only God can fully heal us at the deepest level of identity, restoring a sense of wholeness and meaning. Â Â
So throughout this time, I invited God’s Spirit into the deepest layers of wounding, asking Him to uproot the lies and plant restorative truth in their place.
As I did, I longed for a prayer process I could follow — with clear steps to anchor and orient me when I felt overwhelmed — and for the presence of someone skilled in walking alongside the wounded in prayer.Â
And so, I began working with an inner healing prayer and deliverance* counselor. Â
I was cautious, at first. Â
I’d experienced religious abuse and knew how people could over-spiritualize trauma, attributing its persistent symptoms to a lack of faith. Â
But my counselor was grounded in wisdom, and the process she introduced me to has changed my life, ushering in freedom and restoration in the most tender parts of my story.Â
Today, I'm excited to share that an introduction to this same prayer process will be available to you inside Restore.Â

*When I began working with my inner healing prayer and deliverance counselor, I was new to — and even skeptical of — the process of deliverance. But as I rebuilt my life, I experienced a new intensity of spiritual warfare and could see how fresh pain points of fear and shame were easy targets for the enemy. I knew there was undoubtedly a spiritual element to the resistance I felt in the healing process, and I wanted help moving through it.
In our counseling sessions, deliverance looked like starting the prayer process by taking authority over the enemy in Jesus’ name whenever they tried to interfere, and standing our ground with prayers of authority as the process unfolded. It was simple and grounded, and it cleared the way for the deep inner work in prayer with God.
