Rewriting My Story - Crying Out to Him
Rewriting My Story - Crying Out to Him
A "WORKSHEET" is simply a way for you to look squarely at yourself and see where you are. Like a GPS system in your car or in your phone, you have to know where you're at, honestly, clearly and completely.
At the beginning of these worksheets, take time to pause and quiet yourself, breathing and relaxing as mentioned in the "HOW TO USE" tab. This is a great time for reflection as to how to care for yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit for inspiration and insight as you work through this worksheet.

Receiving Comfort: Inviting Jesus to rewrite this event/memory, as He sees it!
Invite Jesus to be present in the memories of events you recalled in the previous Worksheet, memories of events that were hurtful when they happened, and hurtful even up to today.
What does he say to each person in the memory?
What does He do to each person in the memory?
How does He make a positive experience out of a negative experience?
When He works in our memories, this is when we are invited to a new belief system, and realize that "feelings" can come and go and change sometimes rapidly! The Healing begins as we begin to depend more on BELIEFS than on FEELINGS!!!
Listen to Him as He comforts feelings and begins to re-write the deeper truth in their place!!!
* Most importantly, what is the truth of this event through the heart and eyes of Jesus?
* How does His presence in these memories begin to change your feelings and especially beliefs about yourself and those involved?
* How is His heart for you and those involved in this memory different from what you felt or came to believe?
* Regarding your memories about your past, what is the lie that the world and the enemy would want you accept as truth?
* On a personal note, hearing and seeing His perspective about this painful memory, how does that make you feel and believe about God's deep, personal care for you?
To help you even better see the real truth (e.g. who did what and why) of this event through the heart and eyes of Jesus, take a moment to answer the following...
I am coming to believe the following truths (e.g., I am a child of God, I am of great worth to Him, I am loved, I am forgiven, I am safe, I am not alone...)
I am becoming aware that my losses are being transformed to my following gains (e.g., a new hope, a closer relationship with Jesus, deeper empathy for myself and others, and freedom from: fear, bitterness and hopelessness...)
Because I am changing my beliefs about past experiences, I am being set free to feel (e.g., hope, joy, peace, the presence of love...)
Because I can begin to rely on beliefs based on God's truth rather than my own changeable feelings, I am choosing the following healthy behaviors (e.g., to be able to give and receive love, able to self-care, able to set proper boundaries...)

PROMISES ..... short Scriptures to build you up and give you hope!
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11, NIV)
