Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the word, prayers, and our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

do thoughts about it consume me? Does it interfere with daily life and health? Does it get in the way of

thriving? Does it come between me and God? Sometimes God begins to do a work in something and we pull back

and don't let him do a complete work. This question is an important one we could stay on for a long time,

really, and dissect it more. But the question is, have I let God completely heal me? It's an important question to ask. Two, do I have a habit of leaving people who
