Pain is so hard and can cause us to retreat to ourselves and hide. Hide from God. Hide from friends and family. Hide from the world. How are you dealing with pain? Often times we do it wrong, I know I have. The Word says, Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. Another way to say that is Blessed are those who “give Me” their pain, I will comfort them. Give Him your pain sweet friend.
What’s on your heart today?
Are you just spinning your wheels trying to get through everyday?
Have you lost a loved one through death or broken relationships?
Are you dealing with shame from something that happened to you or something you’ve done?
Are you struggling with some kind of abuse, addiction, rejection, shame, or guilt?
Do you try and mask your pain or shove it down and not deal with it? You put a smile on your face and act as if everything is ok. Hey, no judgement here, I’ve been there. I’m learning something new and I hope I can encourage you too.
I’m learning to share my pain with those closest to me. Being vulnerable isn’t fun but it’s a necessary part of healing. Start with something small and you can work your way up to bigger things. I remember when God started dealing with me on my eating disorder I had to talk to my husband about it. I was literally sick to my stomach, shaking, and heart pounding. Poor Sean, he had absolutely no idea what I was fixing to say. I know he thought I was fixing to tell him I was having an affair, lol. But as soon as I got the words out of my mouth it was brought out of the darkness and into the light and that means it no longer had power over me. See that’s just what the enemy wants is for you and I to suffer in silence, to not share our burdens with one another.
God is the only one who can heal your pain. Turn your pain, your fear, your guilt and shame over to Him. He loves you and wants to heal you everywhere you hurt. Get honest with God, he already knows. Trust Him with your brokenness and pain. Remember blessed are those who “give Him” their pain, for He will comfort them.
Give Him your pain sweet friend.
Pain is part of progress. Its not something to fear, it’s just part of life. It’s something to learn and grow from and move through. Not a place to camp and stay. Friend, He is the God of healing. The God of miracles. The God of provision. The God of restoration. He’s whatever you need. He’s saying “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened for I WILL give you rest.”
There is pain in the breaking, but there is blessing in the broken.
THE WORD:
Exodus 15:26 tells us that God is ‘the Lord who heals us’.
Exodus 23:25b-26 And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
Psalm 103:2-3 Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His benefits; Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.
Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains (of punishment)… And with the stripes (that wounded) Him we are healed and made whole.
1 Peter 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
Matthew 8:17 He Himself took (in order to carry away) our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.
Psalm 107:20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.
James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Isaiah 38:16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these is the life of my spirit; restore me to health and let me live!
