What are the steps to emotional health?

Here is a four-step journey toward healing and freedom.

Step One — Learn New Language

Name your inner struggle.

Unworthiness.

Inner torment.

Self-blame.

Living divided — good outside, bad inside.

Feeling trapped.

A brain stuck in survival and coping.

Healing begins when you can say, “This is what’s happening inside me.”

Step Two — Use the Right Tools

Spiritual tools:

Identity in Christ, grace, mercy, forgiveness, faith, hope and prayer

Emotional tools:

Quieting negative self-talk, old traumatic pain released, finding healing, less shame, living less hidden, practicing daily self forgiveness.

Step Three — Old Program → New Program

Leave the program of unworthiness.

Live the program of peace and rest.

Peace is inner calm.

Rest is freedom from trying to earn love.

Step Four — Abiding Joy

Joy grows as we walk daily with Abba, Jesus, and the Spirit.

And, as we love and serve others.

Close:

We are both flesh and spirit.

The mission is to become whole.

This is your holy work.

Prayer:

Father, bring my emotional life into harmony with Your Spirit.

I long for peace, rest, and joy.

Heal me. Lead me. Bless me.

Amen.

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
