Emotional Healing Methods
When You Feel Broken Hearted

All of us have been hurt at some time in our lives in need of emotional healing methods. Whether it's been a bad break-up, parents' divorce, death in the family, abuse, rejection from friends... we've all been there at one time or another.

There have been several times in my life when I was in need of some emotional healing. I want to share with you some of the things that helped me through some pretty difficult times (death in the family, parents' divorce, sexual abuse, etc.).

I wish there were quick and easy emotional healing methods I could share with you that would give you instant healing. I do believe that God has the power to heal us instantly through prayer, but most of the time He allows us to heal slowly.

Where Do I Start?

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you exactly what to do. I wish I could. But, everyone is different and responds differently.

Ultimately, you will need to get in touch with God and ask Him for wisdom on where to start. James 1:5-8 says "If anyone lacks wisdom, she should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault. But when she asks, she must believe and not doubt, because she who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That girl should not think she will receive anything from the Lord; she is a double-minded girl, unstable in all she does."  (I changed it to feminine)

What Helped Me…

Even though I can’t tell you exactly what to do, I can tell you what helped me the most. Here goes…

I would recommend that you start by reading about forgiveness and deciding to change directions.

Then, by working on your thoughts and the "stinkin' thinkin'" that may be going on in your mind. I know I have had a lot of thoughts and beliefs to change (and still do!).

You may also want to spend time thinking about any habits that may have been passed down to you by your family, any generational issues.

And something that has been very powerful in my life is inner healing prayer. If you are interested in learning more about inner healing prayer, contact us.

If you are struggling with certain habits and addictions, I strongly recommend finding an accountability partner or an adult you can trust to meet with and pray with you. It's important to find someone you can trust and I would recommend that your accountability partner be another girl. Things can get fairly messy when you open yourself completely up to a guy.

Finally, you may need to contact a Christian counselor and go through some counseling. There have been a couple times I have really benefited from counseling. It's nothing to be ashamed of...we all have times in our lives where we are in need of some extra help and support.

Healing is Possible

Whatever you are going through, it's important to know that Jesus has the power to heal you. Send us your prayer request and we will pray for you.
