Immanuel Prayer Nest

Discover the Immanuel Prayer Experience Developed by Dr. Karl D. Lehman, Christian psychiatrist** The Immanuel Prayer is a powerful 7-week journey for small home groups. Designed from Dr. Lehman’s years in clinical psychiatry and enriched by Dr. Jim Wilder’s neuro-theology insights, this method goes beyond traditional prayer. establishing a tangible, interactive connection with Jesus first, and then bringing that connection into the process of healing What sets it apart: Start with presence. Instead of delving into pain first, participants ground in a meaningful memory or moment and use gratitude to open relational circuits in the brain. Interactive connection: Once the brain is primed and Jesus's presence is perceived, participants engage directly with words, thoughts, or emotions in real-time communion. Process with Jesus: Now, painful memories can safely surface. Throughout, participants “go with Jesus into the memory,” welcoming His presence as a healing companion Brain science aligned: Activating the prefrontal cortex through gratitude while calming the amygdala paves the way for trauma to be integrated, rewiring neural pathways through neuroplasticity . What you’ll experience each week: 1. A short prayer inviting God’s presence and protection. 2. A memory or “appreciation seat” to reconnect with Jesus. 3. Perceiving and interacting with Jesus—listening, asking, or sensing His guidance. 4. With His presence established, any distressing memory is revisited—this time with Jesus beside you. 5. Closure focused on gratitude and connection, fostering lasting healing. Why it works: By placing the relational experience of Jesus first, the method mirrors therapeutic best practices—integrating trauma in a safe environment and supporting emotional resilience. The result? Participants consistently report deeper intimacy with God, long-term emotional shifts, and a newfound inner peace . IMMANUEL PRAYER FOR HEALING THE HEART"

Trauma Informed

When God Designed the Brain… He Made a Way to Survive Trauma Let me tell you something most people (even in ministry) don’t realise: Dissociation isn't a disorder. It's design. God created your brain to protect you. When life got too heavy, your brain activated a powerful survival switch: Dissociation – not dysfunction, not weakness. A God‑given shield to protect your heart and soul. But here’s the catch… Your amygdala spikes (fight‑flight‑freeze). Your hippocampus—the memory keeper—gets fuzzy. Your story becomes fragments, sensations, flashbacks. You feel scattered. And it’s not your fault. This is brain science. This is trauma. This is God’s mercy in a broken world.

Trauma Informed

What Does It Look Like When We're Trauma‑Informed? 1. Realizing & Recognizing Trauma: Understanding trauma is common and powerful. Seeing behavior or memory gaps as survival adaptations, not failures. 2. Responding with Safety & Respect: Asking “What happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?” Creating an environment that’s physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe. 3. Building Trust, Choice & Empowerment: We Walk with you, not push you—letting you set the pace. You choose how deep to go: nothing forced, everything respectful. 4. Fostering Connection & Peer Support: Healing happens in community—through calm presence, shared stories, safe space. 5. Embracing Cultural, Historical & Personal Contexts: We honor your background, culture, gender, and personal story—because healing is not one-size-fits-all. 6. Actively Avoiding Re‑Traumatization: We don’t re-open old wounds without holy invitation and felt safety. Instead, we guide you gently toward connection—with Jesus and with yourself—valuing agency above all. In short: Being trauma‑informed means, we see the brain’s design, honour its survival work, and respond with grace, safety, and Jesus‑centered healing. We meet you where you are, walk at your pace, hold space for your story, and trust God’s presence to guide the journey.

What Our Client Say

Ben Rogers

The Immanuel Prayer allowed me to find that missing piece that had prevented me from experiencing the connection I craved to have with Jesus as a close friend. I always felt distant and unable to connect personally.. I have experienced many inner healing ministries in the past, but the Immanuel Prayer gave me the breakthrough I was looking for. Thank you so much, Libby, for the way you facilitated this process. I am truly blessed.

Jennifer Todd

During one of the hardest seasons of my life—when grief felt overwhelming. I had a series of Immanuel Prayer sessions with Libby. It truly was the best decision I could have made. In those sessions, I felt Jesus meet me right where I was “stuck” in my sorrow. What I discovered was profoundly simple: all I needed was His presence, and to know He was really with me. I had never experienced God like this before. It wasn’t about words or ideas; it was about sensing and experiencing Him beside me in my pain. Through Libby's gentle guidance and the Immanuel framework, I found a fresh, real relationship with Jesus. And with that came the deep peace I had been longing for. I wholeheartedly recommend Immanuel Prayer to anyone seeking to draw closer to Jesus and cultivate a more God-centered life. It’s not therapy, it’s an invitation into His compassionate presence that transformed me.
