We can change our mind by recognizing faulty thoughts and misbeliefs, and by choosing to live in renewed thought by through God's empowering Spirit.
Self-care is essential for our well-being, for preventing burnout, and for staying the course in the long-run.
Our soul is the land that belongs to us. By this last chapter I hope you are recognizing the interrelationships between each capacity of the soul. As we continue to increase in the Lord, growing in grace and maturity, our soul’s voice becomes stronger and surer. Since spiritual formation doesn’t happen by default, deliberately engaging in holy habits will help us press on to know the Lord. Our soul is then built on His goodness and faithfulness. Holy habits help us fight entropy and continue to gain ground. The disciplines themselves aren’t transformational but they create a space for God to enter and encounter us, restoring us to His holy design. We are opening our heart, creating room, for the One who speaks and transforms and pours Himself into us.

How do we find God’s will? Here are some things to consider along the way.
We experience real transformation as we become mature and complete in Christ. As we experience continued growth and transformation throughout our lifetime, Jesus is taking over more and more ground in our souls -- revealing, conquering and redeeming the depths and intricacies of our soul. When the Lord is working within, He recreates every capacity of our souls, omitting nothing. Our collaboration in this is essential. So, we pray that He will give us a deep hunger to want to grow more, knowing more of Him within our souls.

Pain is inevitable and life can be difficult but God’s grace is ours to lift us up and bring redemption to our story.

Introspection: What is it? A unhealthy habit of inward self-examination, thinking and rehashing. Exercise of looking inward to find truth, pre-occupied in our minds with the past or the future. Isolates us in a lonely monologue. Leads us to despair, shame, guilt, pride, uncertainty. Can be very seductive and dangerous, developing into a stronghold where the demonic hides. Self-examination through either self-reproach or self-approval, it can be relentless in criticism. Auto-immune disease of the soul -- uses its own resources to turn on itself and devour itself. Rational mind turned in on itself and analyzing, thereby paralyzing the receptive intuitive mind of the heart. We are using our beautiful mind in wrong, unhealthy ways, without proper balance. Underlying these patterns of thought is a deeper anxiety and unrest, an unsettled state where we may constantly feel something is wrong. Keeps us fixed on ourself, interrupts the Presence. Introspection is a closed-circuit loop, recycling darkness that leads us to illness of soul.

God is good and he wants us to know and be filled with his goodness.
God’s Image Gen. 1:27 So God created man in His own image. Vital part of our gender identity is our personhood in His image – with the strength and initiative of the masculine and the beauty and tenderness of the feminine. God’s design is to release His image into humanity, in both male and female. We can have severe gender confusion and confusion about our own masc-fem identity. Two attributes within our soul: Masculine and Feminine The voice of the masculine is “I initiate, act and establish.” The voice of the feminine is: “I receive, respond and nourish.” The masculine is holy strength, the feminine is holy beauty! God holds within Himself both qualities. (See Ex. 34:5; Isa. 66:13 for the feminine.) Within each of us, God wants to restore the polarity and the complementary of these. The true masculine will look different in male than in female; the true feminine will look different in woman than in man. But we are more fully man or woman when comfortable with "opposite" attribute.
