"Their marriage problems are destroying me too."
How it sounds in your head: I can't concentrate at school. I can't sleep. I'm anxious all the time. Their broken marriage is breaking me. I feel like I'm drowning in their problems and there's no way out.
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD."

She feels every tension in the house physically and emotionally. The stress is real and affecting her daily life in measurable ways.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a furnace so hot it killed the soldiers who threw them in. They walked around IN the fire untouched, didn't even smell like smoke—completely protected in the middle of destruction.
I REFUSE the lie that my parents' problems are destroying me. IT IS WRITTEN that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I have my OWN covenant with God that protects me. IT IS WRITTEN that I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. What's happening around me does NOT determine what happens IN me. I am SEALED by the Holy Spirit. I walk through this fire without even the smell of smoke. I am PROTECTED. I am WHOLE. I am FREE!
Father is running toward you with a SHIELD, saying, 'You are not collateral damage. You are MY DAUGHTER, separately sealed and protected. Their battle is not your bondage. You are FREE to thrive even in the middle of this.'
