Healing The Hurt That Lies Below The Surface
When we think of healing we often look to physical healings recorded in the Bible. Jesus restored sight to several blind people and healed some who were paralyzed so they could walk again. We can see the need for healing of physical conditions but what about a heart that has been broken by harsh and degrading words or actions? Like a hammer drives nails that fasten things together, demeaning words and actions drive hurt deep into our souls and fasten it to the person we come to believe that we are.
I’m heartsick and heartbroken by it all. Their contempt has crushed my soul. I looked for sympathy and compassion but found only empty stares. He (Jesus) heals the wounds of every shattered heart. (Psalms 69:20; 147:3 TPT)
Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. (Matthew 11:28-29 TPT)
Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin! (Hebrews 4:15 CEV)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You for healing and restoration for You know and understand what I have suffered. I am tired and weary of carrying this heavy load. Please help me to believe and receive the new life of love and blessing that You offer me. Amen
