Blocking Blessings

Are You Blocking the Blessings You Pray For?

Do you pray earnestly for blessings—health, peace, provision, joy—yet feel like nothing changes? What if the blessings are already on their way, but you're unintentionally blocking them?

We block blessings most often by refusing to receive love—God's love, others' love, even our own. Deep inside, a quiet conflict whispers: "I want the blessings… but I don't deserve love." This inner tug-of-war creates self-sabotage loops that keep us stuck.

A recent example touched my heart: A dear woman, struggling with illness, asked for help. I suggested essential oils and emotional work to support her healing. She connected deeply but worried about funds. I encouraged her to pray for provision—just as she would for car repairs if it broke down. She did pray, and money came… only for her car to break, and she used the funds there instead of on her health. A classic loop: wanting healing but redirecting resources away from self-care.

Many live this pattern—desiring happiness and wholeness yet circling back to sabotage. The way out? Go to the root: belief.

The Root-Level Chain: Belief Shapes Everything

Belief → Thoughts → Feelings → Actions → Results

Surface willpower rarely breaks the cycle when root beliefs conflict ("I want this, but I'm unworthy"). True change starts at belief—realigning it with God's truth.

Here are three gentle, powerful steps to stop blocking and start receiving:

1. Reconnect Fully to God

Prayer isn't just asking—it's relationship. Reconnect by:

• Praying earnestly and regularly (pour out your heart).  

• Choosing to love and trust God fully.  

• Realigning beliefs to His promises.  

Signs you've reconnected: You feel upheld, powerful, hopeful—inspired with solutions instead of excuses. Holding faith in one hand while clinging to fear with the other leaves you confused and stuck.

Actions reveal true belief: consistent prayer, scripture study, optimism, church attendance. No excuses.

Realigning belief examples:

• "I can't" → "With God, I can do all things."  

• "My body is broken" → "God created me perfectly; my body knows how to heal."  

• "I don't know how" → "Divine light guides me to create wealth, health, and happiness."  

• "My situation is hopeless" → "I'm responsible for past choices, but God leads me forward."

Essential oils to support prayer and reconnection (inhale during devotion or apply over heart):

• Sandalwood: Grounds the mind, deepens reverence, and opens spiritual connection.  

• Immortelle: Renews hope, supports emotional healing, and invites divine light.  

• Frankincense: Enhances prayer, promotes spiritual clarity, and fosters peace.

2. Receive God's Love

Blessings flow when your heart is open to love—unconditionally.

• Recognize and list God's tender mercies, even in hard times—gratitude shifts everything.  

• Choose to feel His love: Imagine Him calling your name, seeing you as His beloved child. Recall your pre-earth relationship—open your heart and receive. Say "thank you" to gifts from others; accept yourself without comparison.  

• Release self-imposed conditions: Stop judging your worthiness mid-journey. Give God back the role of judge—trust His perfect timing and mercy.

When receiving love, blessings become obvious—they're everywhere.

Essential oils for gratitude, self-love, and opening to receive:

• Geranium: Balances emotions, fosters love, trust, and self-acceptance.  

• Spikenard: Deepens devotion, releases burdens, and invites profound peace.  

• Rose: The oil of divine love; softens the heart to receive unconditional affection.  

• Pink Pepper: Uplifts, sparks joy, and supports emotional warmth.

3. Realign to Your Life's Purpose: Happiness

Own your divine power—choose happiness as your purpose.

• Tap inner light: Release victim mentality ("I don't have time/money/energy…") and excuses.  

• Choose positive energy: Peace, joy, serenity, health—focus on what you want, not complaints.  

• Engage creative power: Visualize, imagine, and manifest your calling—serving others with your gifts. Tell yourself: "I must be happy and successful in my purpose." Stay focused; the universe aligns.

Essential oils to empower choice, release darkness, and manifest:

• Fennel: Clears victim patterns, promotes responsibility and inner strength.  

• Black Pepper: Ignites motivation, reveals truth, and fuels forward energy.  

• Copaiba: Supports emotional healing, quiets restlessness, and grounds confidence.  

• Litsea: Uplifts mood, clarifies vision, and inspires fresh momentum.  

• Lemon Myrtle: Brings clarity, joy, and renewed purpose.

Stepping Out of the Loop: My Own Experience

I've felt the freedom of breaking this cycle. When I fully reconnected to God, received His love, and chose happiness as my purpose, everything shifted. No more excuses—just movement, flow, and real progress toward joy.

You don't have to stay stuck. Blessings aren't withheld—they're waiting for an open heart. Reconnect, receive, realign. Start small today: one prayer, one "thank you," one positive choice.

God loves you fiercely—enough to send provision, healing, joy. Let it in. You're worthy because you're His. Step into the flow—you'll be amazed at what unfolds. If you'd like support with oils or energy work to help release blocks, I'm here. Let's walk this together.
