I like to start every new season sharing a vulnerable experience that I’ve had. People may look at my life and think everything is perfect. I’m here to tell you that no one’s life is perfect. By sharing some of these experiences, I can offer you something other than how to simply deal with pain but how to overcome that pain and actually heal from it.
After months of planning and preparations for our final baby, we were beyond excited when we found out we were pregnant. A few weeks into my pregnancy I began to feel like something was wrong. My husband and I have three children already, so I know when I’m pregnant and I know how it should feel. When things started to feel differently, I began to worry. Within 24 hours, we had lost our baby.
The pain of losing this beautiful life was overwhelming. The guilt and the shock were just too much to bear. I was devastated.
Fortunately for us, we are surrounded by a close group of people that we consider our Tribe. These are the ones that we hold close and respect. Sharing our grief with them was the beginning of our supernatural healing, in just 3 days.
Here are the 4 ways that God healed me from this overwhelming sadness in just 3 days!
[7:31] You have to let people in. Our Tribe was overwhelmed with sadness with us. There is power in allowing people into your life. They were with us through the pain and the tears.
[9:17] Let God comfort you. Don’t let your anger towards God keep you from Him comforting you. The Lord is your Father and wants to take care of you. He is the perfect Father. He’s just waiting for you to come to Him. Let Him.
[11:59] Special prayer to know God as your Father. You know Him as a Savior, let Him love you as your Father.
[13:26] Give Him your pain. Being a Christian doesn’t automatically keep you from trials. You are not expected to carry all of your pain alone. Ask the Lord to take the pain away and give it to Him. Joy will follow.
[17:14] Nothing in life is wasted. God uses every single thing for His Glory! No pain, no miscarriage, no abortion is ever considered waste!
Please know, you do not have to lose a part of yourself because of the pain and the trails you go through. The Lord will fully restore you when you let Him have your pain and you let Him into your life!
