When we experience physical pain, we usually recognise the signs and know that something needs attention. We seek help, follow treatment and take steps towards recovery.
But emotional and spiritual pain can be different. It is often hidden from others, yet it can affect our thoughts, our relationships and the way we see ourselves and the future.
Many people carry burdens they have never spoken about: a painful memory, a disappointment, a fear, a loss or a weight in their heart that they cannot seem to remove.
But no matter how hidden the pain may be, God sees it.
The Bible says: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
This Sunday, 19th July, all Universal Churches across the UK will begin 7 Steps to Inner Healing, a journey of faith that will guide you towards finding peace, strength and restoration from within.
Over seven weeks, you will receive a different step each week to help you focus on your inner healing and allow God to bring transformation to the areas of your life that need it most.
Just as water has the ability to cleanse and refresh, it will represent the renewal that God can bring to the soul. The stress, negativity, worries and emotional weight that have built up over time and affected your peace can be washed away as you seek God with sincerity.
Each step is an opportunity to reflect, let go of what has been holding you back and move forward with a renewed heart and mind. If you wish, you are invited to bring a bottle of water to be blessed during the service.
Before attending, take a moment to consider:Â what is something you no longer want to carry? Write it down and bring it with you to your local Universal Church. Use this as a starting point for your journey towards inner healing and as an act of faith that you are ready for change.
Whatever you may be facing, there is hope for a new beginning. Join us this Sunday as we begin 7 Steps to Inner Healing and discover how these meetings can bring peace, clarity and strength for the journey ahead.
