Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something from an article I read on trauma. It really encouraged me and I know I’m not the only one suffering from trauma. Hope this helps someone else who’s struggling like me. I copied these from the note I took so I’m sorry if they don’t make any sense but I hope it’s clear!
Things to remember from God to the traumatized:
1. God remembers evil
2. God tells stories of trauma that would be easier to forget (process of recovery is NOT immediate)
3. God speaks specifically to the depths of our suffering (psalms 55:20-21)
4. God gives us Himself even in the midst of triggers.
Jeremiah 49:11
Jeremiah 9:4
Matthew 10:16
Don’t blame yourself
You can be free!
“Truth can feel like a heavy burden for the hurting, but it is ultimately the only relief for the oppressed”
Trauma is NOT a life sentence. Sometimes he takes the pain away, sometimes He doesn’t. Your trauma doesn’t define you and doesn’t have to control you forever. No trauma is bigger than God.
Mark 2:4
Revelation 5:6
Stay strong friends! Please don’t be afraid to reach out if you need to talk or need help, everything will be okay💛❤️
