## Resource

Key Talking Points: 💔 1. Pain Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Discern — It Means You’re Guarded Let’s get this straight first: You’re not spiritually broken.You’re not “bad at hearing God.”You’re wounded. When you’ve been hurt before: Your nervous system learns to brace Your mind looks for threats Your heart hesitates before trusting again That’s not rebellion.That’s self-protection.

Biblical truth:📖 Isaiah 30:21 — “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”God’s guidance is often directional, not detailed. 🪞 3. Why Introverted Women Struggle Here the Most This is the identity moment. Introverts already live internally.After pain, that internal world becomes even louder. You replay: What you missed What you ignored What you wish you’d done differently So now you think: “I can’t trust myself.” Truth:Your reflection is a strength—but when mixed with hurt, it can turn into self-distrust. God never asked you to trust yourself.He asked you to trust Him—even when your discernment…
