God will meet us in the middle of our suffering and help us to move beyond itThere is not a Band-Aid solution to suffering, but rather a process of healing for every pain and crisis
The Holy Spirit will gently lead you through your healing processIdentify the lies you've started to believe and replace them with God's truth
It is not our suffering that makes us anointed or qualified to minister to others; it is Christ in usThere is a difference between a bitter heart and a broken heart
Be careful who you choose to process your pain with"[God] heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds"Psalm 147:3

We can't rush our healing or anyone else's
God will use people to walk beside the hurting, but only He can heal wounds“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
