Healing Is a Process
Adapted from Beginning Your Day God’s Way
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time.
If you are dealing with a hurt or disappointment today—big or small—please know that God loves you and He wants to help you. Your situation has not been overlooked by Him. He knows exactly where you are and exactly what you are going through.
The healing process isn’t easy. It takes time, a commitment to studying God’s Word, and prayer. However, the Lord is faithful, and as you trust Him, He will bring healing, growth, and new life.
Start by admitting you need God’s help. God helps the humble (1 Peter 5:5–7)! We need to let God take us apart and then put us back together again.
As we renew our minds according to the Word, we will trust God more completely and believe what He says more than what others say about us, more than our feelings, and more than our circumstances. That’s when we live in His beauty, filled with His love, free from the prisons of our past, and healed in our souls.
God loves you more than you can comprehend, and He wants you to be free to walk in His good plans for your life. Take time every day to study His Word. Pray and cast your cares on Him, because He cares about you and wants what is best for you.
Prayer of the Day: God, I need You. I need Your help. Heal my heart and any broken places. Make me who You want me to be, amen.
