Beloved one, how is the state of your heart today? A seemingly odd question, and yet it holds a much deeper meaning. Your heart is much more than a biological mechanism that is responsible for the rhythm of life.
In the chambers of your heart lies the deepest pains and the most profound joys. It represents the essence of your emotions, the cradle of your dreams, the sanctuary of your pains. Like a beautiful garden, your heart also requires careful tending. Not just to develop strong physical health, but to also nourish it with love and compassion.
Today with the gift of understanding, you shall renew your divine connection to Christ and restore your spirit from any pain and suffering.
Heavenly Therapy
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
– Psalm 147:3
Where else can we find true healing and restoration other than through the spirit of the living God? Whilst hospitals and medical advancements purport to treat your physical state, God’s healing transcends the physical and spiritual dimensions – providing a complete healing of the soul.
His greatest medicine? The prescription called Love. When your heart is filled with love, there is no room fear or temptation. God’s treatments are not always instant, yet they are the most enduring.
When the doctors give you a prescription, the onus is ultimately on you whether or not you wish to complete it. Now the same thing can be said for the gift of God’s healing. Whilst He’s promises are steadfast and unwavering, it is up to the believer to choose whether or not He or She wishes to be saved.
This choice is the culmination of free will. The decision determines whether or not you embrace the outstretched arms of God. Will you choose the salvation that God has dispense upon His beloved children?
The Heavenly Treatment Plan
There are three steps in our healing journey:
- Admitting our pain: Acknowledge the ache. Like a thorn lodged within the flesh, an untended wound of the heart can fester. Do not shy away from this discomfort. Embrace it, for in acceptance, we find strength.
- Seeking forgiveness: Embrace the divine medicine of forgiveness. We are all fallible, my dear. Ask for God’s mercy and forgive yourself. This step is the salve on the heart’s wound, setting the stage for healing.
- Cultivating hope: Plant seeds of hope. Optimism, watered with faith, blooms into strength, courage, and resilience. Nourish your heart with hope, and watch it mend.
Incorporating Spiritual Therapy into Daily Life
A therapeutic practice you can adopt, is to create a sanctuary for prayer within your dwelling. Each day, dedicate a moment to sit in this space, absorb the peace, admit your pain, seek forgiveness, and cultivate hope.
As the silence around you deepens, let your heart speak to God. Allow His wisdom to guide your thoughts and His love to soothe your aches.
Will You Take God’s Leading Hand?
God knows your deepest pains and sorrows. He knows how hard you have fought, and the tribulations that you are facing right now. But even when all else fails, God remains ever faithful. He is always there for you if you take the time to reach out and ask for His help: “Call unto me; I will answer thee” (Jeremiah 33:3). Through prayer we have direct access into the throne room of Heaven where mercy meets grace.
In retrospect, the heartaches you bear are not random afflictions but opportunities for growth and reminders to reconnect with the divine healer of all wounds.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
– 2 Corinthians 4:17
A Prayer for Divine Restoration
Gracious and Loving God,
I kneel before You, acknowledging my pain and weakness.
I understand now that the aches I feel are calls for Your divine treatment, signals guiding me back to You.
In Your infinite mercy, You have promised to heal the brokenhearted and bind up our wounds.
With humility, I accept Your heavenly treatment.
I surrender my heart, with all its hurts and hesitations, into Your gentle, healing hands.
Pour into me, O Lord, your forgiveness and liberate me from the burdens of past mistakes and regrets.
Wash over me with Your mercy, and cleanse me of all that prevents me from receiving Your healing love.
I invite You, Dear Father, to plant seeds of hope within the furrows of my fear and doubt.
Nurture these seeds with Your divine love until they grow into strong trees of faith.
I pray, Heavenly Father, that You fill every crevice of my heart with Your boundless love.
Let Your love become the rhythm of my life, the melody of my soul, the harmony of my existence.
In the holy name of Jesus Christ, the Healer of hearts, the Bearer of Love, I pray.
Amen.
