Sam Landa Season 4 Episode 65

Send Me Questions on Attachment

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
