Dear Harmony, I'm not ok right now either. I pray God will heal us all. Everytime I feel my anxiety is going to overcome me, I go and pray now. I struggle to pray, and read my Bible and I offer it all to God because he knows what I am going through. I had peace in my heart before for many years but made a big mistake late in life when I should have known so much better and I trust God to deliver me again. Please Lord strengthen you and surround you with His love until you know that God is with you always ,loves you more than you will ever know and is fighting for you too. In Jesus name . Amen.

Dear KK Hess and others who have been hurt by the church. So sorry that has been your experience. I imagine that these wounds are very difficult to heal from and forgive. Dear Heavenly Father, we are grateful for your message of hope, Lord I lift up my brothers and sisters who have been wounded by those who call themselves Christians. I pray for self awareness and reflection for us all so that if we create wounds in others that we would recognize it, confess it and make ammends. As Christians, what we do matters and let us walk the walk with integrity in Jesus' name. Let us walk in humility, honesty and love. Heal those who have been wounded and help them to forgive and be your light to others. In Jesus' name.

Yes, of all the trauma I've been through in life, including my Mom's death, my divorce, etc, the trauma I suffered at church was the one I still have issues with . Absolutely awful, because all the Abuse is "in the name of Jesus" almost lost my faith over it, until I read where Jesus dealt with the Pharisees, and I realized He was still for me and had the same experience

Becoz u have probably spent more time with them and becoz they are imperfect themselves, with damage of their own, statistically you will be more likely to eventually experience your trauma with them, becoz hurt people, hurt people. If you pack a bunch of perfectly brand new ball bearings all together in a brand new box on a roller bed, lubricate them and start them spinning, they will shinily and slowly wear themselves evenly down, and they will do that silently and perfectly for a long time. But if you replace just 1 of those shiny balls with a damaged ball and start that bed, it will take very little time for micro scratches to appear on all the balls around that singularly damaged ball and in turn, they will begin to do the same to those around them. You will actually be able to watch those scratches radiate out from that centre point, and damage that entire box, and they will all begin to rattle and wear out faster and it will all be accelerated so quickly becoz of that 1 damaged ball, and ppl are the same. So imagine if you get a bunch of damaged ppl, all in their own way, from nothing they are responsible for, and place them in a church and set them interacting together, they will inflict pain upon each other, but whilever they're there, they will also receive healing becoz God is with them, but they must be prepared to receive that healing... So pray for protection from a spirit of judgement of others and a spirit of victimization, and ask that he open your heart and remove that desire to hang onto that pain, and LET him so that it will all go away, coz he won't take it if you're still hanging onto it... that's YOUR free will and he won't interfere with that.
My heart is shattered since my daughter was brutally raped and murdered 2 years ago. I choose Jesus and take comfort knowing He was with her and has taken her home. I am a broken child of God's with a prayer that people will see God in my brokenness and despite it; for His goodness to shine through.

Good word! I grew up with a severely mentally ill Mom. Neglect and verbal abuse were a daily thing. I'm so grateful for the Freedom in Christ study by Neal Anderson, done in my small group community, that revealed the lies this trauma caused me to believe and helped me replace them with the truth of scripture. By His wounds we are healed...I still need to lay hold of this every day, but by the grace of God he is little by little, day by day, restoring me to His original intent.

I chew up in that time. I suffered from a car accident. Doctors told my family that they need to prepare. Then God spoke to me and said he'd heal me in his time frame and I'm still being healing today. But I started by living in a recliner rock chair. Could walk ect. Today I can drive, I volunteer at Memorial Hermann Hospital.

I still suffer trauma from childhood abuse. Abuse of all kinds; physical, emotional, mental, verbal ,sexuial, neglect, abandonment repeatedly. After leaving home i buried it. Later as a Christian I wondered why God allowed it to happen,until I came across 2 Cor 1 3-5. It was hard to process..I am learning to take it to God. It is difficult. Initially it took me years before I could even tell anyone. Now I can talk about it better. It has been 40 years plus. I pray one day I would be able to comfort others passing through the same. 🙏

If you would like to process your experience with one of our pastors, you can schedule time here: www.go2.lc/meetwithus. Please remember they are not professional counselors and shouldn't be a replacement for getting professional help to fully process through abuse. Father God, I life up Shondra Whitmore to you asking for your healing and protection over them. God, we may never understand why this is a piece of our testimony, I ask you remind Shondra Whitmore of your faithfulness and love. God I pray on the darkest of nights you remind Shondra Whitmore of your presence and peace that they are not what has happened to them, but they are your child who you love. In Jesus name, amen. -Kat

Please pray for my ex wife. I’ve never stopped praying for her and still love her according to what we are told in scripture. She recently said she’s not sure if he’s enough for her and that honestly terrifies me. I’ve always prayed for us to get reunited, but now just concerned for her faith and salvation. I know it’s not my responsibility for her decisions, but I must keep praying for her. If he were to come today…it’s so hard to let go knowing what I know.

This was a beautiful message. I can attest that this process of healing is correct. I'd lived a long life of complex trauma (physical, emotional and sexual abuse) by the time I became a Christian at 34 years old. God began healing my heart right away and as I've pressed into Him and shared within my community of Celebrate Recovery I have found complete healing. The past 3 years I have been pursuing purpose in my trauma by mentoring other women healing from abuse, and God has put it on my heart to write a book that may help many more people. If you are struggling from the trauma and pain of abuse please heed Pastor Craig's teaching as truth that works!! God bless 🙌

So happy to hear that Hannah
I have recently realized I am not okay. This last series has helped me so much. I realized a last trauma was causing my depression. I thought it was just work burnout. My first year of marriage has been hard as I do not feel myself. Before I listened to this tonight I wrote in part of my journal entry for today, “through reflection I realized my emotions and actions had associations, they had patterns. And none of the problems I was fixated on were the etiology. I realized my migraines are usually triggered from situational stress or arguments. Which initiates a lazy river effect of isolating myself, followed by inviting the depression monster in which delights in the maltreatment of my body, my vessel, with junk food, couch ridden orders, no self-hygiene, and days of isolation with room only for the VIP list of my closest friends: Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Apple TV and HBOmax. This last time the depression monster thought it would be humerus to find the most sad and miserable shows to watch, The Handmaid’s Tale, Into the Darkness, and Euphoria. Of course, this depression monster makes me sign a non-disclosure agreement to never ever tell anyone this except my therapist. Once that is settled the anxiety monster visits and likes to remind me how much time I have waisted over the last few days. How small of me to let my mind ruin my week. I’m wasting time by not fulfilling my purpose on earth. How going back to work or that event is too hard. She whispers to me “just cancel, it’s okay, you need to rest”. And finally, one of the most painful question you can ask yourself to evaluate, “What is wrong with me?” I suddenly realize I am at the beginning of the lazy river and the migraine and physical illness starts again. You hope it will be time for the waterpark to close and there is just one lap left.” I was too ashamed to tell my life group I didn’t read any of the Bible study as I didn’t even attend work this last week. This video helped me so much. I realize I need community and I cannot isolate myself. Thank you for covering the mental health because so many of us are hurting!
One of the most freeing moments for me was when I gave my thorn to God. The "Why is this happening? Did I mess something up to deserve this? What do I need to resolve this?" And now trusting that the circumstances are ordained and are part of God's sovereign plan. Instead of "My grace is sufficient for you" as Paul heard it, I hear "You are more useful to me as you are". Although I don't understand it, my heart is so much more free trusting that my God knows what's best for my future. And if God be for me, who can be against me? Let's go brothers and sisters, with God, the BEST is yet to come!

With Jesus, honesty, and willingness to recover I will overcome..
The struggles are real 😢
You have no idea how this whole message had my name written all over it and speaking straight to me. All the stuff that you mentioned about the type of trauma that people go through, all of it is what I went through. And still going through. I do have a big hard time trusting God because of my mom and my father backstabbing me and taking my son away from me, so my thinking nowadays is, if my own family can screw me over, anyone can, including God. And I think it's because I felt so let down by God so many times in my life because I've noticed a decent amount of prayers that I pray, never come true or don't happen. I've been needing my own apartment or a place for about 4 years now. That's a huge let down for me from God. And even though I keep praying over this, I'm still waiting. So yes, this message was absolutely meant for me to hear thank you so much for preaching this! I don't want to get into too deep to all my drama cuz Lord knows I have a lot of them. My family is dysfunctional so yeah. I'm sure you can understand

I’m not okay right now. I have always struggled so much with low confidence, self doubt and anxiety. I have always struggled inward and felt like it would never go away. I know that in my weakness He is strong, but living with such low self confidence has disrupted my life in so many ways… I pray one day, the Lord will remove it. Such a good sermon, this has brought me to tears.

I recommend this for those who are struggling with trauma. Also recognize if you have echoed your trauma on others and gracefully share the healing of your trauma with those that have suffered as the result. As followers when we are saved we must look out for those we have hurt as well.

Thank you pastor, for obeying God & preaching this Peace of Mind sermon series. I stumbled upon your KZread channel in my Biblical search for “a Word.” I am in the process of healing from narcissistic abuse by my spouse. I’ve had to be strong in the Lord in my journey of healing. I have forgiven him for the abuse; however, I cannot trust him. I am certain that God is leading me out of this marriage. Pray for me in this journey… that GOD will send me what I need to accomplish His Will.
So glad to have found your channel. I feel so much like Paul. I am trying to heal but it just keeps on. God bless you for something to help me along the road. I grew up in the back of the team riding in the truck. Looks like you have a younger audience in the sanctuary than here. I have a tormenting thorn. God bless you strongly and heal your trauma. Great sermon.
Thank you Pastor Craig, keep these sermons coming as you are speaking to millions and the need of healing our mental health! Bless u!
I wish every community could have a Life Church. But at least I can access online and listen to Craig’s sermons. He blessed me every day. I can go back watch all of his sermons. Thank God for the internet. So many criticisms of online. But there are blessing online if you look. Life Church is developing a way for people around the World who don’t have internet but they can be blessed. Thank you Life Church for helping me. I’m dying inside from the mean people in my Church. The one percent goes out of their way to hurt people and undo the love and caring of the 99%.
I'm hurt I'm without my child I was abused and I need you God. I need this better this was extremely important video I watched thank you. Thank 💗

This was beautiful. Coming from the experiences of mental health I know this to be true. Thank you Pastor Craig for admitting that WE ALL need a safe place to process our pain and to acknowledge our defeats in front of fellow believers. Thank you God for healing me. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and thank you Holy Spirit for being active in my life. Looking forward to more topics on mental health. We all need mental health professionals to help us process the things we are feeling and have felt but more importantly we need Jesus'. So much in my life I've stuffed down and I'm tired of doing it Lord. Help me to process my pain and trauma safely so I can find purpose in helping others with similar situations. Help me to know that it's not just me, but it's you as well. I love you Lord. Thank you in advance. In Jesus' Name.
I’m not okay right now. I ask for God to do what only He can do in my life. He can take my pain and make me stronger. Thank you for this message, Pastor Craig. Incredible series and such perfect timing for me.
