When you think about the time spent working toward healing, what does that look like for you? For some of us, we may want to spend our time diving more into Scripture, reading about different Biblical scenarios or examples shown to us by early believers who have struggled with similar situations. For others, that time may be better spent in intentional prayer—prayer over the person, the situation, our responses, and the strength to get to a place of forgiveness. But I’m guessing that, for many of us, if we spend too much time alone while working through the healing process, we may end up digging ourselves farther into sadness and frustration instead of working toward a way out. Healing is a process, but it doesn’t have to be a process that you go through alone. We all need friends, family members, and spiritual mentors who not only speak truth into our lives but who can sit with us as we work to get ourselves to a better place.

Today, make a list of a few people you know who would be willing to help when you find yourself struggling to forgive. Reach out to ask them to support and encourage you toward a healthy healing that moves you toward a cheerful heart.
