“Be encouraged to seek the Lord’s healing. Then pray for someone to speak
to and open your heart without reserve.”
Luke 6:45
For out of the abundance
of the heart his mouth speaks.
Pete had been bottling up his anxieties for some time. He’d suffered an
emotional breakdown and, though he’d moved on from the situation, he’d never
really talked about it. Pete found it very difficult to open up so he prayed
for an opportunity to offload his concerns on someone who would be unbiased and
understanding. That day arrived over a cup of coffee with a good friend. Pete
emptied his heart. His friend listened. Somehow, Pete did not receive much advice
from his friend but by simply talking his problems through he was relieved. The
healing had begun.
Talk therapy is for anyone who's going through a bad time or has emotional
problems they need help with. For many adults, it may be the same as or more
effective than medication. Talking can help an individual gain a better
understanding of their emotions, identify roadblocks and obstacles and overcome
anxieties and insecurities.
God’s word exhorts us to confess our sins (or anxieties) to one another. The
Holy Spirit is called our counsellor. He is the One who knows our thoughts and
our anxieties. We are encouraged to cast our cares on him because he cares for
us. Ultimately, when I talk with a friend, the Lord is in our company.
Therefore, he hears my heart as I share my thoughts. And the Lord is the
Healer.
So, if you can relate to Pete in our story today, be encouraged to seek the
Lord’s healing. Then pray for someone to speak to and open your heart without
reserve.”.
God-tracking is opening your heart.

“I pray for an opportunity to offload my
thoughts on a friend who will love me and listen to me without passing
judgement.”
“Dear God, I have been bottling up
these feelings and thoughts for too long. I believe that you know my heart and
you are the healer of my soul. Your word tells me that it’s out of the
abundance of my heart that my mouth speaks. So, I pray for an opportunity to
offload my thoughts on a friend who will love me and listen to me without
passing judgement. I cast my cares and anxieties on you now, O loving Lord, and
trust you for healing. Amen.”
