Striving Can’t Heal You—Receiving God’s Love Brings Peace

We all want to be loved. But many of us think we have to earn it. We strive to be good enough, spiritual enough, successful enough. In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, John Murphy shares how striving for love left him exhausted—and how receiving love from God changed everything.

Striving is a symptom of emotional pain. When we don’t believe we’re loved as we are, we perform. But performance doesn’t heal—it hides. At Rock House Center, we help clients uncover the wounds that drive striving and discover the truth: God’s love isn’t earned. It’s received.

Emotional healing begins when we stop trying to prove our worth and start trusting God to meet our divine needs. That’s when striving gives way to peace. And that’s when identity is restored—not by effort, but by grace.

🎧 For more on this journey, listen to the podcast God Wants Your Desire, Not Your Discipline. You’ll hear how emotional healing frees you from striving and helps you receive love from God.
