I started this study for healing in my mental health due to issues surrounding the addiction of loved ones. It escalated anxiety and depression in me. As I worked through examining my heart and mind via the layout of studying God’s word through the study, I discovered so much more to my healing journey. I had lingering issues with accepting God’s forgiveness of my own sin from the time before I was a Christian. Every chapter uncovered deep-rooted strongholds, shame, hurt, and guilt I didn’t know I needed to address. While I can feel God’s healing in the aftermath of my children’s addiction, I also feel His healing within my own heart and mind from my past, and sin, as well. Doing the study and then having a candid and honest discussion made it possible for me to hear God in both scenarios and opened my heart to what I couldn’t see by only doing one or the other. What a blessing at a perfect moment in my life journey.
