How Emotional Pain Reveals Our Divine Needs for God

Emotional pain often feels like a problem to fix. But what if it’s a signal—an invitation to go deeper? In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, John Murphy shares how his pain wasn’t just emotional—it was spiritual. It revealed divine needs that only God could meet.

We try to soothe pain with control, relationships, success, or even religious performance. But these strategies don’t heal—they distract. Pain exposes the places where we’ve trusted something other than God to meet our deepest needs. And that’s where transformation begins.

At Rock House Center, we help clients recognize that emotional pain is often the doorway to healing. It’s not something to avoid—it’s something to explore. When we understand that our pain points to unmet divine needs, we stop striving and start trusting. That’s when peace begins to take root.

🎧 For more on this journey, listen to the podcast Beyond Belief to Peace. You’ll hear how emotional healing leads to surrender and how surrender leads to peace.
