Cultivating Emotional Maturity Sample

Disarming your Triggers

Begin to choose to see yourself as God sees you and stop buying into Satan’s deception. There will be two or three lies in your pattern of thinking that activate your triggers, usually around fear of failure and fear of rejection. Recognize the lie and practice saying "Request denied". What you allow yourself to tolerate will dominate your thinking and actions. Ask God, "Is there a lie I’m believing?" As He shares this with you, follow the process of repenting and renouncing the lie. Give the lie to God and ask Him to replace it with the truth. God is kind. He always responds. Be aware of God’s truths that you struggle with as this may give you a good place to start as part of your inner healing and acceptance of your identity. God wants you to receive deep in your heart all the truths—not just a pick-and-mix selection of them.

As you begin to understand the truth of who you are and walk with godly values and beliefs people will draw closer to you and you will be better positioned to positively influence people, places, and situations.
