Have any of you done this Bible study? It’s called “Lord, I Want To Be Whole” and it is written by Stormie Omartian, the author of all the “Power of a Praying______”. I started this study some time ago, but got to a part that really took a lot out of me emotionally amd mentally and I just couldn’t go on any further. Well, I think I am ready to go on now. Instead of picking up where I left off, I am going to start over. I want things to be fresh in my mind.
Here is what I am thinking about doing. As I go through this process I want to share it with you all so I will do a lot of my journaling here. There are some aspects that call for VERY personal redponses and depending on how I feel, or how the Lord leads, I may or may not post some of those personal responses. I don’t know how to set up the “Mr. Linky” thing yet or anything, and quite frankly I don’t have that much traffic coming through here either, but I will post some of the questions from the study and you can leave a comment when you feel led to do so.
This is a journey toward emotional healing for me. I hope that if this is something you need as well that you will join me. I don’t know at what pace I will go, or how often a post will be related to this study yet, but I do know I feel led to share it somehow, so this is how I chose to share it for now.
Here is a little introduction to what will be discussed and hopefully learned!
Stormie wrote that her definition of emotional health was;
“having total peace about who you are, what you are doing, and where you are going, both individually and in relationship to those around you. In other words, it’s feeling totally at peace about the pst, present, and future of you life. It’s knowing that you’re inline with God’s ultimate purpose for you and being fulfilled in that.”
This book also suggests 7 steps to emotional health:
- Release the Past
- Live in Obedience
- Find Deliverance
- Seek Total Restoration
- Receive God’s Gifts
- Reject the Pitfalls
- Stand Strong
I am going to take some time reviewing these seven steps tonight. Then tomorrow I will share a little description of each of them for you. I hope some of you, if you need it, will join me and not hesitate to comment.
Here’s to emotional healing!
I’m all about the emotional healing!!! Maybe I can find this study and go along with you!
Being whole. I think that would solve a lot of problems don’t you? I think I do a lot of things to fill this void in my life and instead of “things” I need to let God fill it! It’s just so hard to let go and give him the reins..ya know?
I’m tagging along on this one!!!!
THanks for the tip.. I am currently doing a Beth Moore study but thisone definitely sparks my interest.
