Steps to Emotional Healing:
Offences can NEVER be avoided for as long as we are on this earth, but it is possible to work on ourselves such that we heal and guard our hearts from woundedness.
Psalms 34: 18 (ISV) “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed”
God is still there with us even when we are wounded. He never leaves nor forsakes us. It is at this time when you realise you are wounded, that you need to draw closer to Him for comfort, edification and strengthening.
Healing is a deliberate process, requiring your full participation and engagement. There are some basic steps to this:
1. Analyse, analyse, analyse yourself. Have a meeting with yourself and acknowledge what is bothering you. Try as far as possible to find the root of the root. This is the most difficult part of the exercise of healing and in itself, is a very big step towards overall emotional healing. It doesn’t matter how difficult it is or how intense the experience may be, try as much as possible to thoroughly analyse yourself.
2. Pray for yourself. If say, you have found that you are easily angered and it is because of something that your father said to you eg “I don’t know how you are my child”…. Find the truth in scripture eg Jeremiah 1: 5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations”. As you pray you decree this scripture over yourself and then pray for God to give you revelation of who you are in Him. Another thing about prayer is, the more time you spend speaking and communing with God, the more His attributes rub off on you. His love, peace, joy, everything about Him, you will begin to automatically experience, including HIS POWER to break yokes of emotional bondage.
3. Environment - Keep yourself in the best environment for your healing. For example if your conversations have been negative in nature, deliberately speak life. Always give others the benefit of the doubt. Whatever you feed yourself on, will become your world. Feed on things which have life, and life becomes your reality. Watch what you think on, listen to and speak about. Align everything.
4. Get help – no man is an island. It will always help to have someone to speak to, share and fellowship with. There is power in agreement with one another when it comes to healing.
James 5: 16 (ISV) “Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sings to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective”.
