PRIVATE THOUGHTS

" Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)

Maybe you or someone you love has emotional pain, wounds, or actions from which they need to find freedom. What kind of wounds are you hoping to find healing for? Put a mark by or count in your mind any of the following items that apply:

depression___ anxiety__ erratic sleep/eating___ nightmares___ addictions____ sexual problems____ anger outbursts___ paranoia _____ stomach pain_____ diarrahea____ headaches___ asthma _________
low self esteem___ mood swings__ emotionally numb____

If you have indicated at least three of the above issues as descriptive of the pain you hope to find healing for -- this reading will probably be helpful to you.

Maybe this list has reminded you of specific wounds or areas for which you hope to find healing. I suggest you stop at any point in this reading that you feel or remember something about yourself. Stop and write down what you remember or feel in this book, or better yet, in a separate log or journal.

Move at a slow and steady pace. Sometimes you may read and do a couple pages a week and write one paragraph. The next week you may read only one paragraph and write five pages! We are going for quality over quantity; depth more than speed -- deep healing. We are not "band aiding" callused wounds left unhealed, maybe for years. Again, let me repeat a word of encouragement. There is hope! Maybe we feel like giving up sometimes but healing is possible if we are willing to be honest with ourselves.
