Healing from trauma is a journey, but as we’ve seen through these scriptures, God is faithful. Whether through prayer, scripture, community, or counseling, He provides what you need to heal. Take the first step today and trust that God is working in your life.
Let’s Pray:
Merciful Father, God of peace and love, the God of second chances, we come to you because you have a plan for each of us and that plan to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. I pray for those who are still dealing with the harsh reality of Trauma in their lives and they are feeling lost and unworthy, I pray father they will believe in the plans you have for them Lord. I pray that they will utilize these steps I have mentioned in this podcast Lord, and free themselves of the bondage they are in. I pray Lord, God, they will be know they are your children and that you love them unconditionally and that your desire is to heal, set free, and deliver them from all of their fears in Jesus, name, Amen.
