Frequency Thursday: When the Shepherd Speaks Louder Than the Wolves
After betrayal, your spirit can get stuck on the frequency of threat. This Frequency Thursday explores how to re-tune after the wolves - shifting from hyper-vigilance to holy discernment and tuning back into God’s steady, protective voice.
Opening Whisper
Beautiful soul,
After you’ve walked through seasons of betrayal, gaslighting, or watching people quietly root for your downfall, your spirit can start living on a single station: threat. Your mind scans for danger. Your body holds tension. Your heart expects the next hit.
This isn’t because you’re weak; it’s because you survived.
But there comes a moment when survival mode starts to cost more than it protects. That’s when God gently invites you to re-tune - not to naivety, but to His frequency again.
From Monday Grace and Tuesday Truth to Thursday Frequency
On Monday, you gave yourself permission to just start somewhere — even in an unexpected season — and to evaluate your people, places, and patterns with honesty.
On Tuesday, you told the truth about loyalty that was really self‑betrayal, and you named how some connections quietly benefited from your chaos instead of praying for your healing.
On Wednesday, in the Midweek Mirror, you looked at what happens when you’ve cried “wolf” and realized some people never intended to rescue you at all.
Today, Frequency Thursday asks a tender question:
Now that you see the wolves, what are you tuned to - God’s voice, or constant threat?
When Wolves Distort Your Signal
Betrayal doesn’t just break trust in people; it can distort how you hear God and yourself.
You start to:
- Question every intention, even from those who love you
- Second‑guess your own discernment
- Live braced for impact, even in safe spaces
Your nervous system gets tuned to static:
- Hyper-vigilance feels like wisdom
- Suspicion feels like discernment
- Numbness masquerades as peace
But there is a difference between holy discernment and living locked in survival mode.
Discernment is clear, grounded, and connected to God’s heart.
Hyper-vigilance is chaotic, exhausting, and connected to fear.
God’s voice may correct, but it never corrodes. It may convict, but it does not condemn.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
John 10:27
You were created to recognize His voice - even after the wolves.
Step 1: Name the Station You’ve Been On
Before you can re-tune, you have to admit what you’ve been listening to.
Take a quiet moment and ask yourself:
- What has been the loudest frequency in my life lately?
- Fear of being betrayed again?
- Replay of old conversations and red flags?
- Self‑blame for not seeing it sooner?
- Or the steady, gentle reminder: “You are still Mine, and I am still here”?
Write one honest sentence:
“Lately, I’ve been tuned mostly to __________.”
No judgment. Just truth.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Romans 12:2
Renewing your mind begins with recognizing what pattern you’ve been looping.
Step 2: Sit With the Shepherd, Not the Wolves
If your life has been full of loud, sharp voices, returning will feel almost too quiet. That’s okay.
Find five minutes today to sit in stillness. No phone. No notifications. Just you and God.
Pray simply:
“God, I’ve been listening to everything and everyone else. Help me hear You again.”
Then breathe.
You may not hear a full sentence. You may just feel one word rise in your spirit: safe, held, enough, new.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10
Stillness after chaos is not laziness; it is healing. It’s how you move from watching the wolves to walking with the Shepherd.
Step 3: Test the Voices - Signal or Static?
Not every loud thought is truth. Not every “insight” is wisdom.
Here is a simple filter you can use this week:
When a thought or feeling rises, ask:
- Does this align with God’s character and Scripture?
- God may correct, but He does not degrade.
- He leads you toward life, not paralysis.
- What fruit does this thought produce in me?
- Peace, clarity, conviction to grow?
- Or panic, shame, confusion, and self‑hatred?
- Does acting on this require me to betray myself or my integrity?
- If it asks you to lie, shrink, or violate your values to “stay safe,” that’s not God.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23
Guarding your heart now includes guarding what frequencies you allow to play on repeat in your mind.
Step 4: Choose One New Signal to Amplify
Returning after the wolves doesn’t mean you pretend nothing happened. It means you refuse to let betrayal be the loudest thing about your life.
Today, choose one signal to amplify for the rest of the week:
- A Scripture that speaks safety and direction over you
- A short breath prayer, like “I am held,” “God sees,” or “Lead me, not fear”
- A song that grounds your nervous system instead of inflaming it
Write it somewhere you will see it. Repeat it when old memories replay. Let it be the new track that slowly drowns out the static.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
Psalm 121:7‑8
God’s protection is not just external; it’s also over your inner world.
Closing Reflection
If this week had a soundtrack, would it sound more like threat, or like trust?
Returning after the wolves is not about ignoring what you’ve seen. It’s about refusing to live forever in the key of fear.
You are allowed to:
- Keep your discernment sharp
- Maintain your boundaries
- And still soften your heart enough to hear God clearly
The wolves taught you to pay attention.
Now the Shepherd is teaching you to rest.
Tune out the static.
Tune into His voice.
Let the rest of this week move to that frequency.
With love and sacred rhythm,

🎧 Frequency Feature: All My Life
“All My Life” by K‑Ci & JoJo carries the tenderness of a love you’ve longed for, prayed for, and finally recognize as steady and real. In the context of this Frequency Thursday, it becomes more than a romantic ballad; it mirrors what it feels like to finally lean into a love - God’s love first, and the rare humans He sends - that doesn’t play games with your heart or feed off your pain.
As you re-tune after the wolves, rebuild your character, and learn to trust your own discernment again, let this song be the backdrop to that quiet realization: not everyone deserved your loyalty, but there is a deeper, truer love that has been covering you “all your life,” even when the station you were stuck on was betrayal and survival. This track holds space for the softness returning to your spirit - the part of you that still believes in a love that protects, prays, and walks with your becoming instead of preying on your breaking.

Your Journey Starts Here
Many have asked during my TikTok Lives how to begin their personal or spiritual journey. So far, I've explored and mapped the first three stages for those seeking alignment - the awakening, the journey inward, and the path forward.
These stages have brought profound clarity, and I'm grateful to share what I've discovered along the way.
There are still a few details unfolding, but trust that everything is aligning in its own time - and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.
Remember, this is love being transmuted into art; growth takes time, and you can't rush an actual journey, beautiful souls. In due time, all the right energy falls into place. Just have faith. Hold the vision.
