Title: Breaking Through What You Can’t See.

Overcoming Invisible Barriers

Featured Quote:
“Sometimes the hardest walls to break are the ones no one else can see.”
— Kwesi Kwakye Korankye Kesse

We often hear about physical obstacles like deadlines, traffic and financial struggles but the barriers that hold us back the most are often invisible. These aren’t made of brick or wire. They’re internal. They live in our thoughts, our beliefs, our past experiences, and our self-perception.

Have you ever felt stuck but couldn’t explain why?
Like something is holding you back but you can’t quite name it?
That’s the power of invisible barriers.

What Are Invisible Barriers?

They’re the lies we believe. The doubts that whisper, “You’re not ready.”
They’re the memories that quietly say, “You failed before, you’ll fail again.”
They’re the habits of fear, procrastination, or perfectionism that go unnoticed but leave deep impact.

These barriers don’t show up in your schedule. They show up in your spirit.

How to Start Breaking Them

1. Name It to Confront It
You can’t break what you won’t face. Ask yourself honestly:

• What thoughts hold me back when no one’s around?
• What past experience still limits my present decisions?

2. Replace Lies With Truth
The mind is a battlefield. Start declaring truth over your life daily.
Instead of “I’m not enough,” say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Instead of “I can’t do this,” say “I can do all things through Christ.”

3. Create a Bold Routine
Invisible barriers love comfort zones. Set small, consistent actions that challenge fear.

• Speak up in that meeting
• Apply for that role
• Launch the blog
  Courage grows with use.

4. Invite God Into the Process
There’s no shame in asking for help. Pray about what feels heavy. Journal through what feels unclear. God is not afraid of your thoughts He wants to renew them.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”  Romans 12:2

 

You’re Not Alone

You’re not weak for struggling with invisible things. You’re human.
But with honesty, prayer, community, and courage you can break through.

And when you do, you’ll look back and realise: the invisible barrier was never bigger than the God who lives within you.

 Reflection

Not all barriers are obvious. Some are hidden in our thoughts, lies like, “I’m not enough,” or “They’ll reject me.” These lie deep, rooted in past failures or discontented expectations. Breaking them requires honesty, scripture, daily reminders of truth, and gentle courage to act.

 

 Prayer

Lord Jesus, I surrender the walls built in my mind. Help me replace fear and doubt with Your truth. Give me courage for each step You lead me to take. Amen.
