Questions to reflect on:

1. "What would happen if you didn’t get the thing you desire most right now?"

2. "What do you think, that by having it, you will feel more whole and complete?"

3. "What identity are you most afraid of living into if you don’t achieve your goals?"

4. "Are you pursuing this dream as an act of co-creation with God, or to escape feelings of insufficiency?"

5. "What would freedom from ‘shoulds’ feel like in your life?"

Exercises to deepen your understanding:

1. Write Your False Identities

• Writing “I am ___” statements rooted in external achievements or possessions brings clarity to false beliefs.
• Rewriting them as “I am ___ because of God’s truth” creates immediate shifts in perspective.

2. Visualize Letting Go

This powerful exercise helps clients experience emotional release by imagining placing their desires and “shoulds” into God’s hands.

Asking God what He wants to give in return deepens the moment of surrender.

3. Gratitude for What Is

Cultivating gratitude for the present dismantles scarcity-based thinking and invites a mindset of abundance, which softens resistance to surrender.

4. Compare Two Futures
