Theophastic prayer
Theophastic prayer is a therapeutic approach created to help individuals heal emotional pain and trauma through prayer and guided reflection. Developed by Dr. Ed Smith, it emphasizes God’s presence in the healing process. Participants identify specific memories or emotional struggles, then invite God to bring understanding and healing. Through this method, individuals can experience relief from past hurts and gain deeper insights into their feelings and behaviors. Theophastic prayer combines faith with psychological principles, fostering personal growth and spiritual restoration in a supportive environment.
