Healing from the Inside Out – Spiritual and Emotional Healing Through God

We all have so much to heal from—some wounds we’re aware of, and others we don’t even realize exist.

Recently, I was challenged to read a book. Now, I love reading, so I didn’t think much of it. The book?
📖 The Emotionally Healthy Leader by Peter Scazzero.

I thought to myself:
"I’m good. Nothing is bothering me. I’ve done my work. I am healed."

Then, I started reading, and suddenly, things from my childhood, past relationships, work, school, and beyond started resurfacing.

I realized…
💡 There was still more work to do.
💡 There were hidden wounds that had not yet healed.
💡 There were layers to my healing I had yet to uncover.

Healing is an Inside Job

Healing isn’t just about saying “I’m over it.” True healing starts from the inside out—it’s a process, much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.

God doesn’t want us walking around wounded and broken. He wants us whole, strong, and restored so that we can live abundantly and serve fully.

📖 Romans 15:4 reminds us:
"Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope."

Why Healing Matters

🌿 Healing is necessary—it’s not optional.
🌿 Healing makes us stronger—for ourselves and others.
🌿 Healing allows us to serve—we can’t pour into others if we are empty.
🌿 Healing aligns us with God’s plan—He wants to use us, but He needs us whole, healthy, and healed.

Steps to Healing Through God

🔹 Acknowledge what still hurts – God can’t heal what we refuse to reveal.
🔹 Invite Him into the process – Healing doesn’t happen alone; let God do the work.
🔹 Forgive & release – Holding onto past pain only holds you back.
🔹 Stay in His Word – The Bible is medicine for the soul; let it restore you.
🔹 Be patient with yourself – Healing takes time, but God is faithful.

Closing Prayer

Father,

Thank You for being a God of healing. Thank You for revealing the areas where I still need Your touch. I surrender my hidden wounds, my past hurts, and my brokenness to You.

Help me to heal from the inside out so that I can walk in the wholeness and purpose You have for me. Strengthen me to release what no longer serves me and to trust in Your process.

Make me whole, Lord. Use me for Your glory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
