Began soul searching for 12 months, I'm surprised to bring to surface these lies, fears and misconceptions. These have misled me for years and greatly impacted the way I view myself and others. Now that I'm aware of their existence and I'm given a chance to bring them to Jesus.
As I lift them up to Jesus in prayers, there's usually nothing drastic that follows.
When I run into the person who's hurt me deeply, I notice my interaction around him is slightly different.
I'm able to face him, I'm able to listen to him, and not let any of his comments take root in my mind. On the long run, I can imagine my friendship with this person is in less tension, this friendship is finally given a chance to develop.
I'm fortunate to see the difference in my interactions with these people. A hurt person does not respond normally to negative stimuli. When I'm no longer hurt, I can respond in a healthier manner. Without God's love, I'd never dig at my life and now gain sight to how much more I can live.
During our prayer session, we dealt with a few issues every session.
