Psalm 40:1,2

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”

Soul Search

• Have you ever felt like God was nowhere to be found when you had a fall and needed help getting back up?
  Can you share briefly?

• What is the most serious fall (most serious life event) you’ve ever had?
  What age were you when it happened?

• If you would say your ‘fall’ (serious life event) hurt you, do you think you have fully recovered from it?
  Why or why not?

• Serious and debilitating falls (negative life events) can take time to heal.
  Are you being realistic and honest with yourself when you say you have fully recovered?
  If it’s possible that you haven’t fully recovered, what are the signs that the wound hasn’t fully healed and what do you believe needs to happen to experience full and complete healing?

Soul Moves

• If you haven’t ever entered into a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and are not sure of your status as a son or daughter of God, ask God to come into your life as your heavenly Father by accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord.

• After you are assured of your status as a son or daughter of God, and believe by faith that God is your heavenly Father, call on God as your Father to help you and to lift you up from the fall(s) you have taken in life that have hurt you and damaged you.

• Tell your heavenly Father about your fall and your hurtful life experience(s).
  He knows about it already but tell Him where you believe you need Him to bring pain relief and fulness of healing to you.

• Tell God that you are listening for His voice to instruct you on the things you can do with His help to get better.
  Be immersing yourself in His Word, the Bible, and receive His healing power through the promises He has given to you as a son or daughter in the Bible.
