Embracing Your Capability to Heal:

Trusting God's Design for Wellness

It It might sound odd coming from a natural health professional, but it’s an essential question for all of us: Are you able to heal?
Do you believe that God created your body, mind, and soul to heal from the damage done to it?

This belief is a foundational truth.

In the church counseling course I attended, they expressed it beautifully:

“We believe that it is practical and possible for every person who accepts Christ to become everything God wants them to be.”

When we embrace this concept, it frees us from the responsibility of figuring it all out—we surrender our plans and trust God.

God Is Faithful to Complete What He Started

Philippians 1:6 puts it this way:

“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

When we focus on the Lord rather than our health issues, we set ourselves up for success.
Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges are often intertwined, but healing is by God’s design.

He is the healer, and He will complete what He started in you.
If the Lord wants you to succeed, He will provide everything you need—we just need to be open to His guidance.

Recognizing the Real Battle

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

And in 1 Peter 5:8, we’re told:

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

When we think we are in complete control of our destiny, our ego can get out of alignment with God’s design.
We need a proper estimation of ourselves (Romans 12:3).

If you think the problem couldn’t be you or your habits, you might need to check that oversized ego.
It’s our self-perception that often distances us from God’s kingdom.

Be Aware, But Don’t Give the Enemy Power

I’ve heard many people attribute their bad decisions to Satan and his minions:

“I feel like there’s a spirit of [fill in the blank] oppressing me and making me sick, anxious, tired, lonely, etc.”

While that might be the case sometimes, I hear it far more often than,

“I made a bad choice, and now I’m dealing with the consequences.”

It makes me wonder how much power we’re giving over to the dark forces of this world.

We need to be aware of the enemy’s desire to make us ineffective, but not give him more power than he deserves.
Remember, “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

Are You Limiting Your Ability to Heal?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Do you hesitate to try due to pain and fear?
• Are you stuck, unable to move forward because you focus on past failures?
• Have you adopted a victim mentality, blaming others for your struggles?
• Do you think if you just try harder and do more of the same, life will get better?

How’s that working for you?
If you stay in those mindsets, it probably hasn’t moved the needle much in your healing journey.
So what do we do from here? An outside perspective always helps.

Reframing Your Mindset

Pain is an indicator that something is wrong. Let’s deal with the root of the problem—our mindset.

Reframe statements of limitation or lack into statements of truth.
You have a God who loved you so much that He sent His only Son to die for your sins, so you can spend eternity with Him in heaven.

That is overwhelmingly wonderful when we focus on it.
Remind yourself of Bible verses that speak truth to your situation. Search for verses that resonate with you, and memorize your favorites.

Finding Strength in All Circumstances

Philippians 4:12–13 is often quoted and sometimes taken out of context, but it’s worth considering:

“I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.”

Paul said this in the context of his difficulties, showing that he could be content in all circumstances because he focused on following Christ—not just living free from pain.

A heart of thankfulness can go a long way.
Instead of asking, “Why am I suffering?” try reframing it as,

“Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to grow through this pain.”

Release Comparison and Embrace Gratitude

Comparing yourself to others can limit your own healing.
Instead of feeling jealous of others who seem to live without trials, rejoice for them—and for yourself—in everything, even if your wins seem small.

Offer a prayer of thanksgiving:

“Thank you, Lord, for blessing my friend. I know You are blessing me too; help me to see Your hand in all of this.”

Stop Owning the Illness

Consider how you talk about your symptoms. When you say, “I have epilepsy,” you own the disease. Do you really want to own any malady?

Try saying, “I experienced an epileptic seizure” or “I have been diagnosed with epilepsy.”

There’s a dynamic shift when we don’t own our illness.
In truth, God can heal anything.

If you “own it,” how much are you letting Him heal you of it? Even everyday phrases like “My head is killing me” need reframing.
Try: “My head hurts, but I will feel better soon.”

Partnering with God’s Design to Thrive

A big part of what I do is helping clients discover and replace limiting beliefs that block healing.
Together, we create strategies for success in rewiring thoughts to support God’s design to thrive.

We are all capable of healing with God at the helm.
It’s up to Him to do the work He needs to do—and up to us to follow His calling.

🙏 I’m praying for you.
