S2E7 Why We Push Away What We Pray For

In this episode, the discussion revolves around the concept of praying for blessings but struggling to receive them when they arrive. Termed 'resistance to blessing,' this phenomenon is explored through Biblical examples and personal anecdotes. Angela explains how unhealed memories and survival instincts create barriers to receiving good things, even those prayed for. By recognizing and rewriting relational scripts, practicing receiving in safe environments, and building supportive communities, you can learn to trust and receive God's blessings without fear. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own resistance to blessings and join the private podcast series for deeper exploration. 00:00 Introduction: Wrestling with Prayer00:49 Resistance to Blessing: A Spiritual Battle01:36 Biblical Examples of Resistance03:18 Understanding the Reflex of Resistance03:55 Physiological Roots of Resistance05:27 The Tension Between Spirit and Body08:47 Personal Story: Learning to Receive Love11:07 Steps to Practice Receiving14:48 Building a Community of Healthy Receiving17:06 Reflection and Invitation18:19 Conclusion: Living a Beloved Life This is a public episode.
