Unhealed trauma repeats itself.

 

Don’t let your past traumas become someone else’s.

 

If you live triggered, with emotional responses to life or others, chances are, you have unhealed grief and trauma that can date all the way back to childhood.

 

Friend, you do not have to live with the weight of that brokenness, and you don’t have to feel the shame of knowing your triggers and responses are hurting those you love.

 

Jesus came to touch and heal us, and this includes the brokenness in our minds from life’s pain.

 

Go to Jesus; invite Him into the brokenness life and others have caused — He is Healer.

 

You do not have to carry around your broken heart anymore.

 

You do not have to manage your way through the pain or shove away what’s been weighing you down.

 

You can be messy, and real, and vulnerable with Jesus.

 

You just need to surrender it all to Him.

 

At the end of yourself is where our big and mighty God can begin to do an incredible work of His healing touch within you.

 

Take the time to check in with your heart, invite God into your pain, and old hurt will no longer rob you of the newness of life He has for you today.

 

Pray with me:

 

Father, I know that life can be hard, but I’ve experienced so much pain and loss it’s overwhelming. I’m not sure if I’ve ever fully grieved or released to You what I’ve have experienced, and I am not sure I know how. Today, I am surrendering my loss, my pain, and all the trauma to You . . . my Divine Healer. I am asking You to show me what has hindered me from living in the fullness and the freedom of joy and peace that I know is mine through Jesus. I have heart-hurt, and while I do believe You are who You say You are, I am finding that there are areas where I am struggling to fully believe that You have total healing and restoration for me. Lord, help me with my unbelief. Highlight to me the areas that have not been met by You so that I can invite You into that place of pain and grieve what was, as I learn to rise and fully step into my new life. I am asking You, Father, for the release of Your Spirit to come into every crack, every crevice, and every cell of my memory that has kept me in bondage to old hurt, trauma, and past pain as I release all my hurt to You. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
