Every pain or negative emotion becomes fertile ground for temptation, and unless they are physically related, each one is rooted in an unresolved issue or event in our lives. As part of your journey of spiritual breakthroughs, I encourage you to begin asking God to reveal to you the cause of your inner distress. I promise you He will. Based on my experience and that of many others, I’ve found that an astounding 70 percent of our inner pain is rooted in unforgiveness; 20 percent seems to stem from unresolved personal conflicts; and everything else accounts for the remaining 10 percent.
