Remember, the battle may be in the mind, but the target is your heart; to get it to shut down. These wounds to your heart affect everything else you do.
Restoration Guide Exercise 5, Pages 8-9
How was your heart wounded? Take time to identify factors such as: How old were you? What specifically happened? Was it finding out about your parent’s divorce? Was it some kind of physical or sexual trauma? Was it finding out about an affair your spouse had? Was it some kind of abuse or neglect or betrayal?
Take as long as you need and then return to this section.
Reflection Question:
How does it feel to dig into the true source for your wounded heart? Painful? Freeing? Does it help you understand why and how you are coping as an adult?
Important Scripture from this video:
PSALMS 27:10 NLT
