What is *Lord, I Want to Be Whole* by Stormie Omartian about?

*Lord, I Want to Be Whole* is a Christian self-help book offering a seven-step roadmap to emotional healing through prayer, scripture, and confronting past trauma. Stormie Omartian draws from her own experiences overcoming childhood abuse and clinical depression, emphasizing forgiveness, spiritual deliverance, and aligning with God’s purpose to achieve wholeness.

Who should read *Lord, I Want to Be Whole*?

This book targets Christian women grappling with emotional pain, unresolved trauma, or spiritual stagnation. It’s particularly relevant for those seeking faith-based strategies to overcome depression, release bitterness, or deepen their prayer life, with reviewers noting its value for group Bible studies or personal healing journeys.

What are the main steps to emotional wholeness in the book?

Omartian outlines seven steps: * Addressing past wounds through prayer * Rejecting spiritual oppression * Embracing God’s truth over negative self-perceptions * Identifying deceptive thought patterns * Maintaining physical health as emotional care * Practicing forgiveness relentlessly * Cultivating sensitivity to God’s guidance

How does Stormie Omartian address childhood trauma in the book?

She shares her personal story of maternal abuse (including being locked in closets) and demonstrates how scriptural prayer helped her reframe self-worth, release anger, and break cycles of pain. The workbook companion provides journal prompts for readers to apply these methods.

What Bible verses are central to the book’s message?

Key scriptures include Psalm 139:14 (“I am fearfully and wonderfully made”) for self-worth restoration and Ephesians 6:12 (“struggle not against flesh and blood”) for spiritual warfare. Omartian integrates over 50 verses to reinforce each healing step.

Is *Lord, I Want to Be Whole* worth reading?

With 4.7/5 stars from 36+ reviews, readers praise its life-changing impact on emotional healing and faith growth. Critics note its heavy church-centric framing may limit appeal to secular audiences. Ideal for those open to Christian counseling approaches.

How does this book compare to Omartian’s *Power of a Praying Wife*?

While both emphasize prayer, *Lord, I Want to Be Whole* focuses inward on personal healing rather than marital relationships. It delves deeper into psychological recovery techniques, whereas *Power of a Praying Wife* offers外向型 strategies for intercessory prayer.

What controversial viewpoints does the book present?

Some reviewers critique Omartian’s caution against yoga and mindfulness practices unrelated to Christianity, viewing it as overly restrictive. Others find her trauma recovery timeline unrealistic for severe cases.

When the Past Won't Let Go

00:00

A woman stands at the edge of a cliff, ready to end her life at twenty-eight. She's tried everything-meditation, therapy, relationships, substances-yet nothing has freed her from the relentless voice in her head repeating, "You're worthless." This was Stormie Omartian's reality before discovering a pathway out of emotional prison that would eventually transform millions of lives. What she learned challenges our assumption that emotional wounds simply heal with time. They don't. They require intentional, deliberate action-and her story maps the way forward. Picture being locked in a closet under the stairs by your own mother, hearing her screams that you're stupid, worthless, nothing. These weren't isolated incidents but the daily soundtrack of childhood. When trauma becomes your normal, it doesn't stay in the past-it constructs an invisible prison that travels with you into adulthood. This explains why Omartian's depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-destructive patterns persisted despite desperate attempts at relief. The bars of her prison weren't made of steel but of deeply embedded beliefs about herself and the world. Unlike a broken bone that gets immediate medical attention, emotional injuries often remain untreated for decades, quietly destroying us from within.
