Learning the Necessary Steps to Heal in Our Relationship with God

05/24/23 • 41 min

Learning how to heal from our relationship with God requires us to go back to the basics. The basics of Christian life are easily identifiable: emotional regulation, prayer, filling our mind with Scripture, seeking strong Christian community, and serving others.
On today's episode, I discuss how the practicing the basics of Christian life can helps us heal in our relationship with God. I also discuss the following topics:
Experience all the emotions you are having

They’re just emotions
Here are some examples of strong emotions felt by the Psalmists:
- Psalm 22:1-2; 42:3, 5, 11; 55; 77:1-3; 88:13-16

Pray with Honesty, Humility, Awe and Patience

“Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy” by Mark Vroegop
His key point was that we just need to keep praying
Cry out to God
- The key here is to allow yourself to feel the depths of the pain you are experiencing.
Pray your struggles
- Everyone struggles and we all have friends we can share these struggles with (Gal. 6:2) but the purpose of sharing our struggles with Him is because He understands.
Pray your questions
- God will carry out his will in our lives and we sometimes do not understand
- God WILL listen and He WILL empathize with our questions
- God DOES care about those questions.
Pray the Gospel
- John 3:16-19
- Romans 5:8-11
- 2 Cor. 5:21

Fill Your Mind with Scripture

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, in the largest book in the Bible (chapters-wise) and the focus of it is on the importance of the Word of God in our lives.
Just continue to fill your mind with Scripture.

Connect with a strong biblical community

Who we surround ourselves with will affect how we view our faith in Jesus and how we live out the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
It is an encouragement to be with each other, encourage each other, struggle together and be open with one another.
I remember learning that the Latin word for compassion is compassion which means “to suffer with”.
Supporting verses
- Psalm 33:1-3
- Proverbs 27:17
- Romans 12:4-5
- Hebrews 10:24-25

Serve One Another

Use your gifts
Serving each other provides opportunities for humility
Serving each other allows for your gifts to be used to bless others

How to Cope with Loss by Grieving with God and Trusting Him in the Process w/ Tyler Cooper

Send Me Questions on Attachment

The process of grieving looks different for everyone. It does not always look the way we want it to look, nor does it always follow the stages in the exact order in which it is presented. I think we can all agree that there are different types of suffering that bring on different levels of pain, and there is no greater pain a parent can experience than the loss of a child. And with that pain, comes the experience of grieving which brings up the question for us as believers, do we grieve differently than non-believers do? How can we trust God through the grieving process?
On today's episode, Tyler and I discuss why this topic is so important to Christians who have experienced loss, but especially for parents who have lost a child
I also discuss the following topics:

How Tyler and his parents came to faith in Jesus Christ
What parents can teach us about Who God is
Most of Christian life is "caught not taught" by what we see in our parents
Experiencing the loss of a child
How rare talking about miscarriages is
Experiencing grief by going from denial to anger
Negative messages that enter our minds and hearts during loss
The need for Christian community
The ministry of presence
Was coping with the first loss worse than the second?
God is sovereign over all
Believing "It's my fault" and "Is God punishing me?"
Lastly,

Send Me Questions on Attachment

Attachment styles are such an integral part of how we do relationships, and it is especially important to understand how ours operates within our own family dynamics. In fact, our familial relationships most accurately depict what our attachment styles are.
When we learn how our attachment styles influence our ability to relate, regulate our emotions, parent better and develop self-awareness and self-compassion, we can relate better in our relationships. All of these skills become especially important in the process of adoption. My guest, Dayna Kumar, shares what her process of adoption looks like on this episode. Dayna and I also discuss the following topics:
