The Mask of Control: God's Truth for Women

📖 Introduction

Throughout history, women have faced unique challenges in their spiritual and personal lives, especially when it comes to the desire for control. This study, The Mask of Control: God’s Word Says About Deception, invites you into a transformative journey to explore how the Bible addresses the subtle and often hidden ways deceit influences our hearts. Control can sometimes seem like a safe harbor — a way to protect ourselves from the unpredictable storms of life. Yet, when it becomes a mask, it shields us not just from others but also from the freedom God intends for our souls.

Deception is a powerful force. It doesn’t always manifest as blatant lies; often, it appears as carefully wrapped layers of justification or fear. Through this 7-day study, we’ll examine the stories of women in Scripture who wrestled with control, deception, and finding liberation through God’s truth. We’ll also see how the Holy Spirit equips us to discern falsehoods and replace them with authentic confidence rooted in God’s love and sovereignty.

Whether you struggle with controlling tendencies, feel pressured to appear strong, or want to help others uncover the damaging effects of deception, embracing God’s perspective brings healing and empowerment. Together, we’ll hope to discover the freedom Jesus offers: the freedom to stop striving, to let go of control, and to rest in His perfect plan. Let your heart be open as we learn what it means for women to walk hand in hand with truth instead of hiding behind the mask of control.

Let’s begin this journey toward deeper authenticity, peace, and renewed faith.
