"I keep attracting the wrong men because something is broken in me."
How it sounds in your head: If I attracted one more narcissist or emotionally unavailable man, it must be me. I'm the common denominator. My picker is broken.
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."

Pattern recognition feels like evidence. Multiple bad experiences create the logical conclusion that she's the variable causing the pattern, not bad luck or enemy assignment.
Rebekah didn't have to sort through dozens of wrong men or fix her 'picker.' God sent Abraham's servant directly to her at the well with clear confirmation, and she was chosen before she even knew she was being considered.
I REFUSE the lie that past wrong connections prove something is broken in me. IT IS WRITTEN that no GOOD thing will be withheld from me. Those men weren't good FOR me, so my Father filtered them out. I am not cursed with a broken picker - I am BLESSED with a protective Father who guards my path. IT IS WRITTEN that Rebekah didn't have to kiss frogs to find Isaac - God BROUGHT the right connection to her. The BARAK blessing positions me for divine appointments, not trial-and-error torture. I am being led, not wandering lost.
Your Father isn't watching you repeatedly choose wrong and shaking His head. He's actively blocking wrong doors and positioning the right one, and every 'no' has been His protection, not your failure.
