Story: Renee
Renee used to say yes to everything. Even when it drained her. Even when it hurt.
The first time she said “no,” her voice was quiet. Uncertain.
But each time after that, it got stronger.
And eventually, she realized—people who only loved her without boundaries… didn’t really love her at all.
Journal Prompts:
Where in my life do I need stronger boundaries? Who benefits from me not having boundaries? What am I afraid will happen if I say no?
Prayer:
God, help me honor myself the way I’ve been taught to honor others. Give me the strength to set boundaries without guilt and the wisdom to recognize when they’re needed. Amen.
