{Give Away Day} Hope from our Healer

If you are joining me today from my devotion at Proverbs 31 Ministries, For Broken Hearts and Pain-filled Wounds, welcome! If you haven’t had a chance yet, would you pop over to read it by clicking here?

In today’s devotion, I spoke of the season of healing my friend Lori has been going through after losing her brother in the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. She has found a beautiful place of rest in spite of all she has lost. This place of peace, trust and confidence in God is something I have desperately needed from God over the past couple of years. I am guessing you need to rest there too since you’ve stopped by today.

One thing that has really helped me to do what 1 John 2:28 calls “continuing” or abiding in Him is surrounding myself with His truth.

That is why I had my friend Jana at Sweet to the Soul Ministries design this beautiful printable for us to frame with this reminder:

“Confidence is not a feeling;

it is the strength to move even in the face of fear.”

  1. My family lost our Mother and younger brother in 2016,within 6 months of each other. Bad enough to lose Mom,but Dear God it hurt to lose him too. Getting better each day and reading these messages every day helps. Thank You and God Bless.

      I know God continues to heal a piece of your heart each day, Betty. Keep drawing close to Him, just as you are!

  2. On this very memorable day – 9-11- your devotional was so helpful. My (9-11) came on Nov. 25, 2012 when I came out of work to emergency calls on my cell phone. Our dear 48 year old daughter came home from work and died. Her special needs daughter found her as she came off of her work bus (24 years old). Her son lived out of town. Her ex-husband lived in the same town ,however. It is amazing how, when in desperate situations, GOD arranges and carries out the things that YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO OR EVEN UNDERSTAND in the pain of the moment. The father and step-mother immediately stepped up to the plate and, as Christians also, and with God’s guidance, took over with our granddaughter. Our daughter knew Christ as her Savior. So, HIS will not my will, had been done. REASONS, QUESTIONS?, yes. But, our GOD never fails and is in control and only has our BEST in mind for each of us, even through pain. Our granddaughter knows Christ and is in a group home saying frequently, ” I miss my mom.” We have wonderful times rejoicing, however, that we will ALL BE WITH JESUS, together again someday. Thank you GOD for your perfect plans for our lives and your gentle care for each of us, through pain. YOU ARE TRULY AWESOME.

      Thank you so very much for sharing your story, Marilyn. I don’t know the pain of losing a child; honestly, I cannot imagine. I hear your faith and hope in your comment. Thank you for pouring that into us!

      I am so, so sorry, friend. Lord, heal this sweet one’s heart. Give her hope that You can and You will. Thank you for being close to us when we are hurting so very much, Lord. Amen

  5. I lost my son to suicide a month ago. We buried him last week. My heart is grieving. I am broken. At the moment I have friends surrounding me in prayer. I truly believe that is what is keeping me going. I have friends who truly care and make contact daily. My tomorrow is changed forever.

    1. Lynn Cowell says:

      Dear Marilyn, as a mother, I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow you are experiencing. We love our children so much. I am so very, very grateful to know that you have friends surrounding you. That is why God made us to be in relationship with each other – to hold us up when we cannot stand alone. Thank you for sharing.

      Father, You understand what we cannot. You see the brokenness of Marilyn’s heart. Holy Spirit, pour out Yourself on her wounded heart and begin the healing process. Comfort her as only You can. Amen
