When you confront the fear of being alone, you are positioning yourself to have the best relationship possible with yourself, that colors the intimacy you might have with another with peace and beauty; but the priority is with yourself.

Fall in love with being in your presence first — in the presence of your creativity, your perspective and identity, in the presence of your redeemed sexuality — before desiring to be intimate with another.

Growth is when the most feared part of the day becomes the most exciting and thrilling to always look forward to; that is being with yourself. Surrender to this kind of growth and emotional healing.

That empty space left in you after a breakup should only be filled by abstinence, intentional emotional healing, and the courage to embrace solitude (confronting the fear of being alone), so that you can rise steadily and reach for something better within yourself.

The Lord is challenging everything I thought I knew about sexual addiction.

One sexual encounter can turn a straight man into a very promiscuous man. Just one sexual encounter.

Yes, sex scatters like nothing else. One sexual encounter can turn your whole life around. It scatters deep.

But, we make a mistake to glorify how deep sex scatters. There’s not a scattering so deep that the Lord cannot gather. If one wholly submits to Him, all and more can be restored.

It is so easy to sleep around these days, so easy to masturbate, to hook up. Once you open the door, it is not a few things that come in. It is a gush of things that flow in, like water that has broken out of a dam.

From one sexual encounter, you might start buying sex, masturbating, watching porn, spending a lot of time browsing on Snapchat. You might start thinking no one of the opposite sex can resist you.

It is wise to abstain. But for how long? As you are abstaining, the enemy is also plotting how to bring you down. The longer you abstain, the more intense the plan of the enemy to bring you down. The enemy traps you with something that seems to make up for all that lost time you abstained.

What is the way out?

It is not in what you can do. You can do well and still fall.

You can abstain, get a proper life partner, and then the money comes in. The temptation comes in.

And the enemy tries to make up for all that lost time you were living right.

The way out is in Who you believe.

Only Jesus Christ has the power, the moral authority He demonstrated while living on earth, the depth to reach such a scattering brought about by illicit sex and sexual activity, and the grace and empowerment that enables a person to break sexual addiction.

When the way out is in what you can do, that is merit.

Things like breaking sexual addiction are rarely achieved through merit.

When it comes to Who you believe, that is grace.

All I have to do is believe in Jesus, and He converts this belief into breakthrough.

He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will accordingly be dressed in white clothing; and I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess and openly acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels [saying that he is one of Mine]. [Ps 69:28; Dan 12:1; Matt 10:32; 1 John 5:5]

Our mental health landscape is very saddening. Where does someone run when they are dealing with an issue?

Women run to their friends who give them very wrong advice when dealing with heartbreak.

Teens run to media when they are finding it hard to navigate something, most especially their sexuality.

Married people run to all kinds of people for counselling, who tell them all kinds of things.

Young boys think that amassing things like cars and all is being macho, flashing around dollars.

We have lost it and driving with one or two tires missing.

Nine times out of ten, when a lady listens to her friends for relationship advice, it won’t work in the long run.

When a teen who is struggling with his or her sexual identity browses media for answers, they will get sucked in.

Yet the core issue is self-esteem.

A friend who tries to guide another in relationship matters without touching on sex addiction is missing something important.

Our mental health landscape is saddening, for when people talk about mental health awareness, society hears mental illness and roughly rejects it.

What stood out for me in mental health awareness is self-esteem.

All my life, I have been given advice. It came from a place of love, but it was misguided.

For instance, when it comes to sex addiction, there’s so much knowledge out there on how to beat it, but little wisdom.

In my struggles with it, I have learnt that unless one deals with what pushes them to escape sexually, all they are doing is vain.

Something is putting us to flight sexually, and unless we go down to the root of it, we are tethered to vain solutions.

Many people are struggling with masturbation. It’s so easy, it’s so private, it’s not so risky. And they see no way out. When they are alone, it takes over.

Where does a person run when they are dealing with something like this?

Talking about it in the open helps, but it can’t overpower it. Where does a person run to break such habits, when alone, that it has no power over them?

Others just give up the fight and justify it.

Where does a person go if they are dealing with same-sex attraction?

There’s only one way out!

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV

I do propose this idea to you,
It’s gonna bring us much joy and happiness,
So, it, let’s embrace,
An idea so originally true.

F1 And Mental Health,
An evolution in raising awareness,
Through metaphors, us we face,
Digging up much emotional wealth.

Healing and growth, the end goal,
The Front Wing, An Intention to Heal,
And a complete surrender to the Lord’s will,
We rise stronger after each fall.

It always starts from a thought. From that thought, your body gets aroused, and builds up excitement anticipating the self-pleasuring you will indulge in, at an opportune time, in seclusion.

It’s a process link. Fantasy, pornography, unhealed sexual trauma and a lack of resources on how best to “escape” when triggered, or when feeling lonely or bored, all fuel it.

Breaking the habit of masturbation involves asking God to intervene and break how the process links; for it not to build up into fully acting out.

1. Take the thought of masturbating captive:

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV

Acknowledge that thought of masturbating in prayer and admit that you are powerless over it and ask God to demolish it.

2. Ask for angelic help:

Are not all the angels ministering spirits sent out [by God] to serve (accompany, protect) those who will inherit salvation? [Of course they are!]
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Most give in when the body gets aroused, building up excitement and anticipation to masturbate. This is the inescapable sweet vanity that most give in to. They don’t have the resources to deal with it.

Ask the Lord to send angels to intervene when your body (and mind) start getting aroused, and building up excitement and anticipation around masturbation.

Once the thought is taken captive, and there’s a direct angelic intervention when your body (including your mind) starts getting aroused, the process link is broken.

Christ died for us and gave us private victory. It is in such moments where His power and resource to overcome sin is evidenced; when you ask Him to intervene.

As we come to the end of May, Mental Health Awareness Month, I have been exploring alternative ways of raising awareness.

I first embraced biking, using different superbike parts as metaphors for concepts and principles encountered on the journey of emotional healing. For example, the helmet became a symbol of emotional protection.

More recently, I turned my attention to Formula 1, and I am currently building a series called F1 and Mental Health.

The way mental health awareness is being raised is evolving, and I believe this series is part of that evolution. By drawing lessons from Formula 1 and connecting them to healing, recovery, growth, and faith, I hope to present mental health conversations in a way that is both engaging and relatable.

The ultimate benefit of mental health awareness is emotional healing. And when people begin to heal emotionally, that healing often overflows into other areas of life: overcoming addiction, breaking free from codependency, building healthier relationships, and realizing lasting peace.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:19 NIV

The undertray on a Formula 1 car is the shaped floor underneath the car that generates massive downforce through ground effect aerodynamics. By accelerating airflow beneath the car and creating low pressure, it effectively pulls the car toward the track, improving grip, stability, cornering speed, and overall performance. Key elements like the Venturi tunnels and diffuser help maximize this effect efficiently while producing less drag than traditional wings.

In mental health awareness, the undertray symbolizes a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God.

This decision gives us the downforce we need to remain steady throughout the journey of healing and growth. Because it produces less drag, it allows us to navigate triggers more wisely and efficiently. We move with greater balance, stability, and peace as we continue forward.

The undertray contains floor tunnels that shape and speed up airflow. In the same way, surrendering our will and our lives to God shapes and accelerates the inspiration, clarity, and strength we receive for the journey ahead.

It also contains Venturi tunnels, specially designed sections that further increase airflow speed and maximize downforce. Spiritually, this reflects how deeper trust in God increases our inner stability, helping us stay grounded even under pressure.

And then there is the diffuser, which works to smoothly expand and release airflow while maintaining efficiency and balance. Just as in Formula 1, healing also requires healthy release, reflection, and restoration in order to keep moving forward without losing control.

Just as a Formula 1 car needs an undertray to remain planted and perform at its best, those who are intentional about healing and growth need to make a decision to turn their wills and their lives over to the care of God in order to realize true peace.

This is how I am bridging the gap of awareness between F1 and Mental Health.

The nose cone on a Formula 1 car is the front section that extends from the chassis to the front wing. Its purpose goes far beyond appearance. It directs airflow around and underneath the car, helping feed critical aerodynamic areas like the floor, suspension, and sidepods. This improves downforce, stability, and overall balance at high speeds. The nose cone also acts as an important safety structure, absorbing impact energy during crashes to help protect the driver.

When it comes to mental health awareness, the nose cone relates to clear discernment that directs the inspiration (airflow) that comes to us, making us more stable and reducing drag as we heal and grow. The nose cone is also a major safety structure. Inside it is a crash structure designed to absorb impact energy during front-end collisions before it reaches the driver. In the same way, clear discernment becomes protective in many situations.

Because the nose cone controls airflow so precisely, even small faults or damage can have major consequences. A damaged nose cone can disrupt airflow, reduce downforce, increase drag, and make the car unstable in corners. It can affect grip, balance, braking, and the performance of other aerodynamic systems across the entire car. Since it is also part of the crash structure, damage can compromise safety as well.

When our discernment is faulty, it disrupts how much good we can receive from the inspiration that comes to us. It makes us unstable as we heal and grow. It affects how we make decisions and set boundaries, causing us to slip into codependency. It affects how we navigate triggers and so much more.

Just as the nose cone is vital to a Formula 1 car, clear discernment that directs the inspiration that comes to us is crucial to healing and growth.

I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭125‬ ‭NIV

The engine cover on a Formula 1 car sits behind the driver and covers the engine and hybrid systems. But it does far more than protect components.

Its shape helps direct airflow cleanly toward the rear of the car, improving aerodynamics and downforce. It also manages heat by allowing hot air from the engine and electronics to escape efficiently.

F1 teams design the engine cover as tightly as possible around internal parts to reduce drag, improve performance, and keep the car balanced at high speeds.

One function that I want to focus on is: the engine cover protects the sensitive internal parts from debris, dirt, and weather while helping organize the car’s internal packaging.

There are sensitive parts within us that are at the core of what drives us, and they need protection from debris and dirt: the toxicity and negativity in us and outside us.

Our motivation needs protection, so does our belief. Our genuine intention to heal and grow needs protection, as do our first steps on the journey of healing and growth. This is where the engine cover comes in- protection.

The engine cover relates to Protection That Comes From The Surrender To The Absolute Truth That Only God Can Restore One To Sanity. Only this protects what drives us. It protects our motivation and inspiration, it grounds our belief in God, and secures our first steps as the engine in us drives us. It exposes and deals with the toxicity and negativity in us, and outside us, purging it totally as we grow in surrender.

When you talk about the engine cover, protection emerges first, and this, when it comes to mental health awareness, is Protection That Comes From The Surrender To The Absolute Truth That Only God Can Restore One To Sanity.

And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. [John 14:27]
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭AMP
