If you or someone you love struggles with cutting or self-mutilation, this plan is designed to walk alongside you with biblical truth, compassion, and hope. These days will guide you gently through Scripture, enabling healing and transformation through God’s love.

Self-harm often arises from deep pain, feelings of helplessness, or a need to regain control. It can feel isolating, shameful, or even hopeless. Yet the Bible offers a profound message of freedom and restoration. God’s Word reminds us we are deeply loved, perfectly known, and profoundly valued, far beyond any moment of brokenness.

Over the next three weeks, you will explore God’s heart toward healing, protection, and renewal.

As you engage with the Scriptures, you will discover how the Holy Spirit gently strengthens the ache to change, inviting you into a daily journey of trusting God’s power to heal and comfort. This process is not quick or easy; healing from self-harm addiction is a path walked step-by-step, often with setbacks and victories. Yet every step forward carried by God’s love is progress.

Remember, you are not alone. God’s presence is unwavering, and there is a hopeful community beyond this study ready to support you. The prayers, reflections, and journaling prompts included each day will help you process your emotions and grow in understanding.
