The Silence That Speaks
For over two decades, I lived with a voice that wasn’t mine. A presence in my mind that whispered doubt, shame, confusion, and fear. It followed me into every room, sat beside me in silence, and distorted how I saw myself and the world around me.
I learned to function with it. To smile with it. To live with it.
But now… it’s gone.
I didn’t even notice the exact moment it left. But today, I realized I don’t hear it anymore.
There’s peace in my mind. Space to breathe. A silence I once feared, now comforting.
It’s not empty it’s filled with presence. His presence.
I broke down in prayer because I felt unworthy. How can You do this for someone like me, Lord?
And yet… You did.
Not because I earned it.
Not because I fought hard enough.
But because You loved me enough.
This is deliverance. Not loud. Not public. But deep, quiet, and real.
I am still me but a healed version.
No longer just surviving with the weight of a false identity but standing, present, and whole.
God, You’ve done something to me. Something holy.
I may not understand it all, but I will never forget this feeling
freedom.

This is deep, and leads one to the realisation that, sometimes we don't even know we have voices that do not belong to us. I read this, and had a 'is that what it could be?' moment. Those voices that say you are not good enough, or worth some spaces, or that you won't heal. I read this and now I can safely say, they are not mine. There is a higher voice that will never bring me any doubt. You are phenomenal woman. Well done ❤️❤️❤️ Excellent writing ❤️❤️
