You may or may not have entered into therapy, counseling, or other therapeutic modalities to help you process your experiences and you’ve seen their limitations.
Although you may not trust God at this point, you desire to deepen your relationship and allow his healing transformation. He longs to draw you close even though you may feel hesitant. God does see you and loves you far more than you know. That statement may not sound trustworthy to you yet; however, at the core of your being, you long for it to be true.
You may have seen or heard how God has helped, healed, or made a way forward for others. You desire that in your life and are now hopeful He can do the same things for you. You are like the boy’s father in Mark 9 22-24; only the healing you desire is for yourself. You’re ready to ask Jesus for healing “if [He] can do anything, [to] have compassion on [you] and help [you].” Hear Jesus respond, “If you can! Everything is possible to one who has faith.” You may find yourself responding similarly to the Father,
“I do believe, help my unbelief”
Starting this journey to phase out of your trauma will do just that.
Lisa briefly shared the spiritual practices, activities, books, and videos we have available to women. These are optional as we do not require that women do this phase work.
Most of the time spent in meetings are sharing with one another. Each woman can share whatever is comfortable and be encouraged. They leave feeling heard.
I don’t know about you, but I feel heard every day by God. Sadly, people are limited. Just like me.
But God is unlimited, and he has time to listen to me. I can’t comprehend how God does it. I listen to people as a spiritual director, mentor, and leader of groups. However, I can only listen to one person at a time. After a few hours, I am tired. But God can listen to all of us at once. He doesn’t say, “I need a break.” “I am too tired.” “I don’t have time for you.” I am so grateful God is unlimited!
I am also thankful for the POOT community who listens compassionately to one another.
Here is where we experience God’s love.
Being heard is priceless.
