Tonight, we confront the hidden "iceberg" beneath surface reactions—the Lamech mindset of justified retaliation, the generational patterns of anger and violence, the projection of pain onto others, the trauma that steals our peace, and the lies that disguise insecurity as strength. But praise God! He is the Great Physician who does not merely cover wounds but binds them up with divine tenderness. He breaks chains, renews minds, and calls us to true strength: the strength of self-mastery, forgiveness, vulnerability before Him, and unshakable peace in Christ.

As a new creation in Jesus, old things are passing away. Tonight, we surrender our hurts, our triggers, and our rights to revenge at the feet of the Cross. Let the Holy Spirit minister deeply to every hidden wound. Expect transformation—because the God who heals the brokenhearted is in this place right now.
