Send Me Questions on Attachment

Learning how to heal from our relationship with God requires us to go back to the basics. The basics of Christian life are easily identifiable: emotional regulation, prayer, filling our mind with Scripture, seeking strong Christian community, and serving others. 
 
On today's episode, I discuss how the practicing the basics of Christian life can helps us heal in our relationship with God.  I also discuss the following topics:

Experience all the emotions you are having

• They’re just emotions 
• Here are some examples of strong emotions felt by the Psalmists:
  • Psalm 22:1-2; 42:3, 5, 11; 55; 77:1-3; 88:13-16

Pray with Honesty, Humility, Awe and Patience

• “Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy” by Mark Vroegop 
• His key point was that we just need to keep praying
• Cry out to God
  • The key here is to allow yourself to feel the depths of the pain you are experiencing.
• Pray your struggles
  • Everyone struggles and we all have friends we can share these struggles with (Gal. 6:2) but the purpose of sharing our struggles with Him is because He understands.
• Pray your questions
  • God will carry out his will in our lives and we sometimes do not understand 
  • God WILL listen and He WILL empathize with our questions
  • God DOES care about those questions. 
• Pray the Gospel
  • John 3:16-19
  • Romans 5:8-11
  • 2 Cor. 5:21

Fill Your Mind with Scripture

• Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, in the largest book in the Bible (chapters-wise) and the focus of it is on the importance of the Word of God in our lives. 
• Just continue to fill your mind with Scripture.

Connect with a strong biblical community

• Who we surround ourselves with will affect how we view our faith in Jesus and how we live out the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. 
• It is an encouragement to be with each other, encourage each other, struggle together and be open with one another. 
• I remember learning that the Latin word for compassion is compassion which means “to suffer with”.  
• Supporting verses
  • Psalm 33:1-3
  • Proverbs 27:17
  • Romans 12:4-5
  • Hebrews 10:24-25

Serve One Another

• Use your gifts
• Serving each other provides opportunities for humility
• Serving each other allows for your gifts to be used to bless others
