The Kind of Healing only God Can Provide

 

Psalm 62: 6-7(NLT), “He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.  7; My victory and honor come from God alone.  He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.”

Life is riddled with troubles of every kind. From relationships with our spouse, significant other, family or friends - none of us can escape it. What becomes a rocky situation is when trouble comes in the form of a person that you’ve become emotionally attached to. Someone that started out as a potential life partner that would have your back through thick and thin. Not only did the person not have your back, but they also became the person you trust the least and despise the most.

Tough times are not meant to dismantle your faith in God; it’s meant to make you stronger than you were before the toughness begin. What ends up happening often is the hurt you experience takes much longer to overcome than you thought. The Psalmist shares the remedy for anyone who is in the midst of falling prey to the tricks of the adversary. We’re reminded that we are not alone – God is our rock, our fortress, our refuge. Nothing can penetrate what God establishes.

There’s no sugar-coating, the truth that life is not easy.  Without the help and guidance of our Heavenly Father, it’s no way we could have victory over the enemy or live a peaceful life. Psalm 60:5 (NLT), “Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.” King David was in a rough situation with his enemies, yet he remembered God’s covenant with the Israelites and prayed for God to rescue them – and of course God did. It’s no different from us today. God loves us too much to allow us to perish at the hands of our adversaries.

God is all the help and resource we need.  You can weather any storm - overcome any and all adversity when you take refuge in God’s love.  You may ask, “How do I do that”.  Trust Him! It’s the only way to please Him and He requires it from us. Jesus Christ told us whenever we’re faced with tribulation - “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” We’ve got to learn how to let go of what no longer serves us – and that’s the guilt trip we land in while going through hardship.

We can't remain stifled by our circumstances, God tells us we don’t ever have to be unhappy, sad or depressed if we would only come to him with all of our stuff. Jesus Christ said anytime we have fears, worries or tumultuous situations, to leave it with him. Many Christians have a difficult time surrendering and letting go.  Pain won’t go away until you confront what’s at the core of it, you can't be afraid to do the grunt work on the inside of in order to live the victorious life that our Lord and Savior died on the cross for us to live.   

“You can be a powerful woman if you decide to let go of the pain and let the love of God in”.  Faith comes by hearing.  Hearing the right words and acting on it will unleash the power that is locked within you. Your journey to healing and trusting in God’s promises will set your feet on the kind of rest and victory, that only God can provide.
