Session Two

PRAYER and FASTING

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM

The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. Psalms 147:2-4 NLT

REFLECTION

Just as God heard the cries of the Israelites, He hears the internal distress we carry. This session focuses on releasing past hurts, grief, and emotional “scars” that dictate our current reactions, allowing God to bind up from what has been torn.

QUOTES

God never bursts in. He only comes in where He is invited, and He can only set us free if we are willing to be made free.” — Oswald Chambers

PRAYER POINT

“Healing the heart and releasing the weight of the past”

Ask the Holy Spirit to shine a light on any hidden bitterness or “unaware bondage” from past hurts. Pray for the courage to forgive and the strength to let go.
Pray for a spirit of unity and empathy. Ask God to knit our hearts together so that when one member suffers, the whole body moves to comfort and support them.
Pray for families in our neighbourhood experiencing trauma or grief. Ask God to use us as “emotional first responders” who bring the peace of Christ into chaotic situations.

MEDITATE

Do not carry the trauma of Egypt into the promised land. How are you doing with God’s promises for today? Do not let past hurts and disappointments and the brokenness of the past define you. You are no longer defined by what was done to you but by what He is doing in you
