If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll start praying again once I get my act together,” or “God must be disappointed in me,” this post is for you.
Because I’ve been there.
And I hear it from clients all the time.
There’s this deep, unspoken belief that we have to:
- Get our emotions in check
- Heal our trauma
- Be more spiritual
- Be less messy, anxious, or overwhelmed
Before we can ask for help. Before we’re “worthy” of showing up in God’s presence.
But that’s not grace. That’s hustle disguised as holiness.
You’re Not a Project—You’re a Person
God isn’t sitting in the sky with a checklist.
He’s not holding back love until you earn it.
He’s not impressed by your emotional self-control or your morning routine.
He’s already here.
Already loving you.
Already offering rest, peace, and redemption.
Even in the middle of the mess.
What Therapy Can’t—and Shouldn’t—Do Alone
Therapy is powerful.
It gives you tools, insight, language, regulation.
But some wounds aren’t healed by tools.
They’re healed by love.
And that’s where faith comes in.
Because while therapy helps you feel your feelings, Jesus helps you carry them.
What We Work On in Therapy With Grace in the Room
- Naming shame and rewriting the story
- Reconnecting with God through emotional honesty
- Releasing perfectionism and control
- Learning to rest in God’s presence without “earning it”
- Integrating faith with psychology in a way that feels whole
You don’t have to hide the parts of you that are struggling.
God isn’t afraid of your mess. And neither am I.
You’re Already Welcome at the Table
Not once you’re healed.
Not once you’re holy.
Now. As you are.
Let’s walk together from pressure to peace—with therapy that honors both your humanity and your faith.
