Tabitha Brown prayed in her bathroom, desperate and sick: "God, if you heal me, you can have me." She wasn't healed instantly, but something shifted that day. For years, she'd been layering on masks to survive. Watching her mother code-switch at the bank taught her young that acceptance required erasure. Corporate call centers where people refused to speak to her because she was Black. Entertainment executives instructing her to sound "neutral" so no one could tell where she was from. Straighter hair. Certain size. Erase your accent. She built a version of herself she thought would win, and it was killing her. When she received prophetic messages but suppressed them out of fear, her body rebelled with nausea and dizziness until she spoke them. She was literally suffocating her truth, and she couldn't breathe.
The transformation came through surrender. Not the habitual prayers she'd been taught, but raw desperation to live as God created her instead of how the world demanded. She started taking layers off. Each mask removed brought physical healing. The more authentic she became, the better she felt. She stopped code-switching, stopped shrinking, stopped hiding the prophetic gifts that once terrified her. Your body knows when you're living someone else's life, and it will make you sick until you remember who you actually are. Sometimes the bravest prayer isn't asking God to change your circumstances but asking Him to strip away everything you've become to survive and reveal who you were meant to be all along.
