"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor 13:13 Experiencing rich fulfilling relationships is what we all want, but to have these we must be open. It is in that place of hope, trust, and openness that makes this possible for us, but it is also these very things that make us vulnerable to being hurt. This past Sunday, Pastor Candace talked about some of this and how we can experience healing in those areas of pain inside us. Inspired by Joseph, she shared his journey of healing, after walking through some of the deepest betrayal and challenges anyone could face. We are created for relationship with God and people and He wants to heal our wounds so that we can be free to love and live. Prayer of healing and forgiveness: We trust you God with our hearts, our lives, and our journeys. We invite you into the places where we have been hurt and/or are still hurting. Show us any ways where we have acted out or sinned against you, ourselves or others. Forgive us for _______ (putting up walls, numbing, hate, jealousy, judging, bitterness..), as we forgive those who have done wrong toward us or hurt us unintentionally. We surrender to you and release those who have hurt us. Fill our hearts with your love - the love “that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” - and heals our wounds so that we can be whole, free and healthy. It’s time to heal! For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube. If you want to support STUDIO financially you can do so here.
