Your Question:
How do I even start to heal?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and struggle you're going through. Healing can be a complex and difficult process, and I want to encourage you to start by praying and seeking God's guidance. As the Bible says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up" (James 5:14-15). You see, healing is not just about physical health, but also about spiritual and emotional well-being. It's about acknowledging our brokenness and our need for God's help. We can't heal ourselves, but we can ask God to show us His will and give us faith to believe for a great answer. As the apostle Mark wrote, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). This is a powerful prayer that can help us overcome our doubts and fears. When it comes to healing, we must also remember that God's timing and decisions are not our own. We can pray and have faith, but the outcome is ultimately up to God. As the Bible says, "There is a time to heal" (Ecclesiastes 3:3). So, even if we don't see immediate results, we must continue to pray and trust in God's sovereignty. And as we do, we must also take initiative to overcome our struggles, just like the man with the withered hand in Matthew 12:13, who was told to "stretch out his hand" and was healed.
