This year has been rough. Finding my way through hasn't been easy, but the good part is that all the trials have pushed me to seek the Lord more and look for answers in Him rather than elsewhere. I can't say I've succeeded in making it through to the other side of difficulty, I am still journeying through this experience. The learning and healing process is good though.
Someone I know is struggling with through hurt and emotional pain. It is a very private and devastating experience for this person and their family. My heart hurts for all involved and the situation is so very sorrowful...especially because the family knows God and supposedly so does the person who has caused this situation. I wish I could share more, but please pray for healing and restoration for this family...that they would rely on God and not turn away.
If I've learned anything through the trials I have experienced in life, it is that healing is always possible...it takes time and effort. And often the support of those who love you.
You have to allow yourself time. Time to feel. Time to not be okay. Time to simply keep breathing and living moment by moment because that's all you know how to do. Time to process your emotions and time to decide how you want to behave and react in specific situations or circumstances. There is no rush when it comes to healing...and if you seek the Lord in it all, He will guide your steps and provide for every single need: spiritually, emotionally, physically, etc.
Then you can decide if you need/want to seek more help or guidance to deal with a situation. Know that God is always there. A situation may not have been God's desire for you, but understand this: He works all things for the good of those who love Him. There will be good that comes from this situation. Even if you cannot see it now.
