Main Points
God's prescription for emotional healing:- For emotional distress – Rx…. Pray! --James 5:13a
- For emotional delight – Rx…. Sing! --James 5:13b
- Prayers that heal emotions include three parts and are called laments: | 1. Recount your pain. | 2. Recall God's Character. | 3. Resolve to trust Him. |
- Examples to follow when you feel "bad" due to: | Depression, doubt, circumstances. --Psalm 13 | Guilt, shame, sin. --Psalm 38 | Persecution, adversity. --Psalm 56 | Injustice, "raw deal." --Psalm 73
- Prayers that fill our emotional tanks include three parts and are called Psalms of praise: | 1. Recount your gain. | 2. Recall God's character. | 3. Resolve to thank Him. |
- Examples to follow when you feel "good" due to: | God’s forgiveness, healing. --Psalm 103 | God’s goodness and love. --Psalm 136 | God’s mighty acts, compassion. --Psalm 145 | God’s faithfulness, creation. --Psalm 146-150 |
- "Ups" and "downs" are normal.
- Emotional health demands we move beyond the "silencingof our symptoms."
- Emotional healing is a gift from God. Go to "The" Counselor before you go to a counselor.
- "Getting stuck" is also normal and God uses people, in conjunction with prayer, to mend our emotional wounds.
- Extreme wounds, at times, demand extended and specialized care.
