HEALING 

First, we understand the importance of trusting God and letting go of resentment, worry, and fear to maintain good health. This leads to the second biblical factor for good health: confessing our sins benefits our well-being. Any psychologist will attest to this—it’s essential to clear your conscience and express what’s troubling you. Our bodies are not designed to keep everything bottled up. Holding guilt inside is like shaking a soda can with the cap on; eventually, it will explode.

David illustrates this in Psalm 32:3-5: “When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable; I groaned all day. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” David’s experience shows that internalising guilt can physically impact our bodies. Suppose we don’t discuss our problems, guilt, and bitterness with God first. In that case, it’s essential to recognise the value of trusting God and letting go of resentment, worry, and fear, as these emotions weigh heavily on our health and well-being. It’s a journey we all navigate; sometimes, it’s not easy to release those burdens. This leads us to the second crucial biblical principle for good health: confessing our sins can be incredibly healing. Many psychologists agree that sharing what troubles us can bring relief and clarity. Our bodies are not built to carry these heavy feelings alone—holding guilt inside can feel suffocating, like shaking a soda can with the lid on; eventually, it will overflow.

David poignantly shares this struggle in Psalm 32:3-5: “When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable; I groaned all day long. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” His experience reflects how deeply our emotional burdens can affect our physical well-being. If we don’t find a safe space to voice our struggles and our feelings of guilt and bitterness, we may end up directing that pain inward, which can be so damaging.

Many doctors believe that countless people could find relief and even healing if they learned how to let go of guilt and resentment—whether it’s from their own actions or the actions of others. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to pray, asking God for forgiveness for any wrongs you’ve committed against others. It’s also essential to bring any resentment and bitterness toward those who may have hurt you to light. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate these feelings, and ask God to help you forgive those who have wronged you, allowing you to move forward on a path to healing and wholeness. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey; finding peace is possible.
