Made in His Image Workbook

By Diane Wiedemann

I was the vessel through which God chose to teach others about God-therapy, as I have been both a witness to and the recipient of it.

This workbook is the result of prayer, requests, and an intentional desire to bring healing to you as only the Lord can do. It is simplistic in its format so as not to be overwhelming, providing a platform that allows you to explore your own story without answering questions that constitute a retelling of my story, for that is not the Lord's intent.

Our stories are not the same. This workbook was formatted to honor your story; therefore, each chapter's content utilizes the format the Lord gave unto me within my story. He then instructed me to use the same format for the purposes of this workbook, for the needed benefit of others in what we (as humans) share in common.

He wants this for you too. What first belonged to me now belongs to you, dear reader, and then to all of us. As God-therapy happened to me, it is my desire that this also happen to and for you as the Lord determines your needs and directs your steps.

May you find the strength of the Lord within its pages to bring an end to your suffering, light to your darkness, love to your brokenness, peace to your mind, and joy unimaginable as you embark on this journey of healing.

Color Codes in the Book:

Blue—Scripture for healing

Green—Growth

Brown—Thought to ponder

Orange—Encouragement

Let yourself listen to what the Lord is speaking or saying to you. Say what you want to say. Draw what you want to say. Write, create, and use any embellishments you want—anything that will help your story to come out as you are able to handle.

Extra pages are included for you to be able to do so.

Additional pictures included also feature all the other types of art work (think physical representations of my pain and sorrow) I created to help my story come out of me. Helping me to see it also helped me to heal from it, as a natural component of my healing process.

He then instructed me to utilize the same format for the purposes of this workbook, for the needed benefit of others for what we (as humans) share in common.

There are three questions of thought to be answered in each chapter, a Bible verse of support provided to encourage you on this journey, and a thought to ponder as you explore the content of your answers. It is the desire of my heart, and by the Lord’s will, provided the Lord’s way, that this workbook was completed (think God-therapy).

Along my journey in therapy, I completed nineteen pieces of artwork that tell my story in picture form, for I had not the words to speak. I am sharing
