      Hello. I’ve been a Christian for a while, but l really feel challenged by the emotional healing that the Lord is accomplishing in me. I believe that the Lord is healing scars from my early childhood memories etc.His timing is perfect……

      My problem is l respond to Him and allow God into those areas in which He wants to heal, BUT l feel like lm always being worked on, and not where l would like to be in Him.

      This also makes me feel inadequate, like somethings “wrong” with me that l need so much healing etc. Like other christians don’t seem to have these issues, or are emotional like me,that they seem to be going along great with God. But I feel vunerable and needy by this comparison.???

      However in saying that, l have had a lot of hurt in my early life.
      It has also caused be to have more compassion and understanding with other people what God has done / healed in my life.

      It’s like l cannot see my situation in the right perspective, and my feelings of inadequacy rise up, causing a struggle for the truth of who l am in Christ.

      My prayer is l want to feel normal, and to be able to rest in God’s love for me. I find it hard to rest after praying in that “waiting stage”for the manifestation of the answer.

      My whole thinking structure of bad thinking habits and erroneous doctrine and beliefs are being sorted out.l am in unchartered waters. The word of God is my compass, but l struggle to rest in His truth, and to cast down my own feelings.
      Help me Lord.

      Hi Sue,

      We are all different and what we have gone through in the past is a reflection of the ministry that the Lord is building within us.

      I’ve noticed that people like yourself have a very powerful ministry ahead and this is why you have this battle.

      What to do? Get in the bible and read it cover to cover. Before you start reading it ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you in the pages and to renew your mind so that you will see yourself as He sees you. It doesn’t matter how you feel. Feelings are fickle. So what you read in the word is what matters. Whenever you come across something that you have a hard time accepting in the word. Open your mouth and say this “I bind up these feelings of unbelief in Jesus name and I cast them from my mind, I loose these scriptures on …… and I say from this day forward THIS is my truth and this is what I CHOOSE to believe. I command my feelings to line up with this scripture in Jesus name, Amen.

      That’s what you do.

      Then you spend as much time as you can in the secret place and ask God to renew your mind. You will notice that over time you will become stronger. Stick with it.

      here’s how you get into the secret place https://www.missionariesofprayer.org/2018/03/intimacy-god-part-1-reverence/
