I will ascend above the tops of the clouds I will make myself like the Most High.\u201d (Isaiah 14:13\u201314) Want to know if you\u2019re a pride hoarder? Start taking stock of how many sentences you start with \u201cI.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t mean to brag, but \u2026 | You\u2019re about to brag. \u201cI already knew\/did\/thought of that.\u201d | You\u2019d rather be first than accept ideas. \u201cNo offense, but I \u2026 \u201d | You\u2019ll offend to prove your point. \u201cI\u2019ve got it, okay?\u201d | You dismiss help. \u201cI think you mean ____.\u201d<\/p>\n

| You sound superior. \u201cHere. I\u2019ll help.\u201d | You really mean \u201cI\u2019ll fix it.\u201d \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have done it that way.\u201d | You\u2019re right and they\u2019re wrong. \u201cI gave you advice, but you didn\u2019t listen.\u201d | You\u2019d rather be right than help restore. \u201cI don\u2019t need your help.\u201d | You sound self-serving and rigid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t stand when (name) does that.\u201d | You don\u2019t see the plank in your eye. \u201cAt least I\u2019m not like (name). | You think you\u2019re better. \u201cI always run late.\u201d | You value your time more than others\u2019. \u201cI don\u2019t owe you anything.\u201d | You sound entitled and unapologetic. \u201cI can\u2019t believe she said that to (or about) me.\u201d | You\u2019re arrogant and offendable. We don\u2019t set out to become self-congratulatory, arrogant jerks. A crafty enemy lures us by appealing to the sin nature he witnessed from the start.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not blame-shift. We are the ones who fall for it. Consider Satan\u2019s own progression in the Isaiah passage: He thought he was more. This made him want more. He thought he deserved more. Look how he tries to nudge us through this same sequence: \u2022 I know in my heart that I have so much to offer! But my marriage isn\u2019t meeting my needs. I deserve to be happy in this affair. \u2022 Deep down I know I don\u2019t get paid enough for the work I do.<\/p>\n

I just want a break. They owe me these sick days. \u2022 I\u2019ve worked so hard behind the scenes. It\u2019s my time to shine. God should give me this music label\/book deal\/ministry position. Satan will entice us to justify the means to almost any end. But he will not play nice and tell us how the end really ends.<\/p>\n

With a devastating fall.<\/p>\n

Praise for Emotional Hoarding I wasn\u2019t ready to clean house. I picked up this book for a casual dust-up here and there. A quick skim will do it, I thought. But didn\u2019t Laurie Davies go and open every door in my messy house of a heart? And didn\u2019t her words, blending neuroscience psychology and deep biblical wisdom start hauling out some of the junk I\u2019ve been hoarding (and resenting for taking up so much space)?<\/p>\n

And miraculously, she does this with wit, fun, and a voice you don\u2019t want to stop. I can\u2019t recommend this book enough. LESLIE LEYLAND FIELDS, author of Nearing a Far God: Praying the Psalms with Our Whole Selves With wisdom, humor, and deep compassion, Laurie Davies invites women to break free from the emotional clutter that weighs them down. Through personal stories and biblical insights, she equips readers to confront worry, fear, guilt, and shame with truth, bringing healing, forgiveness, and renewed faith. This book is a must-read for anyone ready to embrace God\u2019s grace and live a lighter, more joy-filled life.<\/p>\n

CAROL KENT, founder and executive director of Speak Up Ministries, speaker, and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down We live in a fast-paced world where we are prone to address what we can see like the clutter in our homes or the chaos in our schedules. We\u2019re reticent to pause and examine the invisible accumulation occurring within us.<\/p>\n

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I\u2019ve walked with thousands of patients who longed for healing but were afraid to open the overstuffed closets of their hearts. We don\u2019t just carry emotional clutter; we hide it, protect it, and try to forget it\u2019s there. Emotional Hoarding by Laurie Davies is a much- needed wake-up call to the reality that our minds and hearts are like our attics and closets: they become filled with unprocessed pain, often far more than we realize.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a chronic worrier, someone wrestling with past regrets, or just aware that something feels off spiritually and emotionally, Emotional Hoarding will help you identify what you\u2019ve been collecting and move from a cluttered heart to Christ-centered peace. DR. MICHELLE BENGTSON, board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, international speaker, podcast host and author of The Hem of His Garment and Sacred Scars: Resting in God\u2019s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted Sometimes we are stuck and don\u2019t even know it. We\u2019ve got emotions crammed in every crevice of our souls, unaware of how it\u2019s keeping us from life to the full.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
