Everyone has scars, whether big or small. These scars continuously bring us pain and hinder us from looking to God. They bring irresolvable spiritual problems that break down our lives, as well as a myriad of illnesses, even to the point of bringing problems to our mental state and soul. That is why various accidents, crimes, and suicides occur. How must we heal this?
1.Discover the peace,happiness of prayer, and consideration of one who has received salvation
Resentment deepens our physical and mental illnesses. However, those who have received salvation have no need to resent. This is because Jesus has promised to give us peace that the world cannot give. When we discover the power of God through the words of the Bible and happiness through prayer, peace inevitably follows. Thanksgiving and healing take place when you are at peace. When you have discovered peace, you acquire leisure and become capable of being considerate towards others. I can be considerate of myself as well as considerate to others around me.
2. Remember that you are a child of God
People are always falling into anxiety, nervousness, and misconception. We know what we must not do, yet we continue to do them. However, because we are children of God, if we simply think about our anxiety, nervousness, and misconception, we come to realize that they are no longer problems. When we are cognizant of this, we can easily escape from it. Healing takes place when the Holy Spirit works. We can discover what we are good at and what will work. Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon us can our problems be resolved.
3. Remember what Jesus has promised
Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This is what we must do. We must completely go before God and completely lay down our burdens. Then we must carry the load that the Lord gives to us. This is the method of healing.

When we give Satan a foothold through our scars and become deceived, they become spiritual problems. However, when we offer our scars to the Lord they become a platform for blessings and the fulfillment of the covenant.
