Restoring Your Heart feat. Sr. Miriam James Heidland

VIEW ON YOUTUBE HERE

"God does not reject the places even we reject within ourselves."

I've never thought of Lent as a time for healing, but my conversation with Sr. Miriam James Heidland changed that. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving: the purpose of these is not to do them for their own sake, but in order to enter into the desert with the Lord. To let him heal the places that most hurt us.

If that scares the living daylights out of you... it should. It will. But only in exposing our wound to the healer can he truly heal us. If you've followed Sr. Miriam's heart-centered ministry as I have and have loved her Abiding Together Podcast, this one is absolutely for you. Be sure to listen right to the end as I share a healing image from my own testimony of post-NICU recovery.

Topics Discussed

• Seeing our sins as wounds
• How to achieve deep, intimate prayer
• What to expect when we are truly vulnerable with God
• Ongoing healing: When the road feels never-ending
