When you gather your team—people who love you, care about you in a deep and meaningful way, and are committed to praying for you—together you will need to form a plan that will make a real difference in your life. These team dynamics will keep you safe and give you great strength and guidance through tough and treacherous times.
As you are healing, you will go through some of the most turbulent waters of your life. A life of peace, joy, and effective Christian love lies ahead of you. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. Being healed is going to be far more valuable than you may ever have imagined. There is no limit to what God is going to do through the healed, restored, and fully functional you. But before that can happen, you and your team will need to come up with a simple game plan.
Whatever plan that you and your team decide upon can be adjusted, changed, revised, and rewritten, if necessary. Trust in the team of people you’ve selected. Remember that these are mature people who care about your growth and healing, and that they will need time to really pray about how to encourage you and help you heal. Mature people may take a little longer to reach a decision, but when they do, it is far more trustworthy.
Your team may encourage you to get the help and guidance of your family doctor or to seek the services of a reputable counselor or psychologist. A good team might even suggest that you book an appointment with a psychologist to interview them. A good psychologist would welcome such a meeting because they understand that in order to help someone heal, there must be a great fit between the doctor and the patient.
Your team may also suggest a particular pastor whom they have found to be easy to talk to and, just as important, someone who is worth listening to.
By gathering these resources together, your team will have helped you take your first steps toward true and lasting healing.
