God Didn’t Design You to Limp Along: Forgiveness, Faith & Fast Breakthroughs

This Make It Happen Monday is your permission slip to stop “limping along.” Jackie shares a personal story about a family health scare that exposed a sneaky belief: “it has to take a long time to rebuild.” Through a faith-forward mindset, forgiveness statements, and EFT tapping, she reframes hardship as a moment, not a life sentence. You’ll learn how to identify “get back to where I was” language (a hallmark of unresolved trauma), write forgiveness and permission statements, reconnect to God as your Source, and move from survival to spiritual strength—without burning out. If you’ve been carrying it all yourself, this episode helps you remember who you are: a daughter of the Most High, designed to be supported, resourced, and wildly blessed.

Key Takeaways

  • “Limping along” is a mindset—not your identity.

  • “Get back” language often signals unprocessed trauma; God leads you forward.

  • Forgiveness statements create emotional release; permission statements restore power.

  • You’re designed to co-create with God—carried, guided, and provided for.

  • Tapping accelerates breakthroughs without bypassing hard emotions.
