Overcoming Lies About GodSample

Steps to Healing

No matter what you have experienced, believed, or have been taught about God, He desires to restore your view of His character. He wants you to experience Him as your true, loving, heavenly Father. It changes everything when we begin to see God as He truly is.

In my life, mentors and spiritual fathers and mothers cared about and invested in me, and this began to shift the way I viewed God over the years. I began to believe, deep down, that He loved me, cared about me, and delighted to spend time with me. Now, when I sin, I feel God’s compassion toward me. When I am disappointed or hurt, I don’t blame God or get angry at Him like I used to. I feel His closeness and interest in the concerns of my heart.

God is a Father who can heal our father wounds. He is a Daddy who can help us overcome our daddy issues. Do you see God as He truly is? Are you experiencing His love and nearness?

As you seek greater intimacy with Him, consider implementing these steps:

1. Remember what God has done in your life. Think about what He did last week, last year, about what He provided, and the good gifts He has given you.

2. Thank Him daily for the good you experience. That’s God speaking His love and His delight into your life. Express your gratitude.

3. Read the Bible meditating on who God truly is. I can’t stress this enough: when you read the stories of the Bible, look for the ways God is showing His goodness and love.

4. Observe loving fathers with their kids. I’ve learned so much from fathers who spend time and hang out with their kids, doing hobbies and activities together.

By identifying the lies we have believed about God, taking steps to renew our minds, and experiencing God as He truly is, we can experience healing and wholeness today.

Thank You, God, for practical steps to help me know and experience Your love. Thank You that You love me so much!
