Life Hurts God Heals

Hey Jr. High and High School Student!

My name is Chelsea, I love Jesus and I struggle with self worth issues.  I also don't think I'm alone.

One reality we have to deal with in life is that Life Hurts.  No matter who you are or where you grew up... life is hard!  You are not alone.

Thankfully we don't have to stop there.  Life does hurt, but God Heals and that is what Life Hurts God Heals is all about.  We exist for students, just like you, who realize there are hurts in their lives that need healing.  Our purpose is to provide an 8-Step community that is safe for you to come and talk about your pain, pressure and life's tough situations.

If this is you and you are looking for a safe place or would like to see some areas in your life healed, come and join us!  We meet on Monday's at 7pm in the Fellowship Hall.  Can't wait to meet you!

With Hope and JOY,
Chels

The 8 Steps of Life Hurts God Heals


Step 1: Get help.  I admit that I am powerless and that I need Help. “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor” Matthew 5:3

Step 2: Open your heart.  I know that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He is the only One who has the power to heal my pain.  “Happy are those who mourn.  God will comfort them” Matthew 5:5

Step 3: Depend on Christ. I realize I need to turn my life over to Christ. I need to depend on Him in all areas of my life, including all that I say, think and do.  “Happy are the humble.” Matthew 5:5

Step 4: Hear and speak. I agree to evaluate my life and confess my faults to myself, to God and to someone whom I trust. “Happy are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8

Step 5: Embrace God’s way. I will stop doing things my way and put my life on the path that leads toward God’s way. “Happy are those who greatest desire is to do what God requires.” Matthew 5:6

Step 6: Ask for forgiveness. I will offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me, and I will ask for forgiveness for any wrong I’ve done to others. “Happy are the merciful. Happy are the peacemakers.” Matthew 5:7, 9

Step 7: Live for God. I will set aside some time for God each day to examine my life, read my Bible, and pray so that I have the power to live God’s way. “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3

Step 8: Share with others. I will take the message that God heals to others in need and share it by my words and actions. “Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10
