God Attachment Healing

How Can I Develop a Secure Attachment to God?

Send Me Questions on Attachment

What if your relationship with God could actually change how your nervous system handles stress, grief, and trauma? We close the year by wrestling with two essential questions: does a secure attachment to God reduce distress, and how do we move toward that security in the real world of loss, pressure, and unanswered prayers. Drawing on research, lived experience, and Scripture, we chart a path that honors pain without papering it over.

We explore why some of us interpret suffering as punishment while others drift into self-reliance and numbness—and how both patterns often come from early attachment and church experiences. Then we get practical. You’ll hear how lament can coexist with trust, why “Abba” language matters for an embodied sense of belonging, and how community presence outperforms spiritual clichés. From John 15’s call to abide, to Hebrews 4’s invitation to draw near with confidence, to the Psalms’ raw honesty, we map out daily rhythms that create corrective experiences of safety, responsiveness, and meaning.

If you’ve ever wondered how to pray when you feel both hurt and hopeful, how to reauthor your inner story around grace instead of fear, or how serving others can soften your own anxiety, this conversation offers tools you can use right away. We talk prayer that holds two truths at once, Scripture meditation that centers God’s steadfast love, and community practices that make care tangible. Over time, these small, steady choices help transform divine struggle into resilient trust.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a gentle, grounded way back to God. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: where are you on the journey from anxious or avoidant to secure with God? Your voice helps others find their way too.
