#ComfortandPeace

I was saved originally in 2003, but didn’t ‘stay the path’ at that time. In July of 2022 i recommitted my life to Jesus and since then I’ve let go of so much… mental blocks, identities, physical items, worries and expectations. I now feel such peace and can relax, knowing I don’t have to do ALL THE THINGS anymore. I’m learning to listen and discern. I realize it’s not about me, but about Him, and that is so comforting and so liberating!!! Im a new creation!!! #christianlife #followjesus #savedbygrace #christisenough #lovegodlovepeople #believer #comfortandpeace https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkEJMbuLvh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How the Lord's Love Can Heal Your Traumatized Child

As a parent, watching your child go through trauma can be one of the most difficult things you'll ever experience. It's hard to know what to do or how to help them heal. As a Christian, one of the most helpful things you can do is remind your child of the powerful love that God has for them. In this blog post, we'll explore how the Lord's love can heal your traumatized child and help them find peace and joy.

1. God as a Comforter When children go through trauma, they may feel alone, scared, and powerless. Reminding them that God is always there to comfort them is a powerful tool for healing. Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Sharing this verse with your child can help them feel safe and supported. You can also encourage them to pray and talk to God whenever they feel afraid or sad.

2. Forgiveness and Grace Trauma can cause feelings of shame, guilt, and anger. In times like this, it's important to remind your child that God's love is unconditional. He forgives us no matter what we've done and shows us grace that we don't deserve. Talking about the power of forgiveness and how it can provide healing and restoration can help your child let go of negative emotions and find peace.

3. God's Plans for Their Life Sometimes when children go through trauma, they may feel like their life is ruined or that they'll never be happy again. This is where the truth of God's plans for our lives comes in. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This verse can provide comfort and hope to your child, reminding them that their future is bright and full of promise.

4. The Power of Community Trauma can be isolating, but it's important for your child to know that they're not alone. Being part of a Christian community can provide a sense of belonging and support that's essential for healing. Encourage your child to get involved in church activities, Bible studies, or youth groups. When they see that other people care about them and are there for them, it can make a big difference in their healing journey.

5. Trusting in God's Plan Ultimately, the key to healing from trauma is trusting in God's plan for our lives. Even when we don't understand why things happen or how to move forward, we can trust that God has a purpose and a plan. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Helping your child to understand this truth can provide hope and healing.

If your child has gone through trauma, it's important to remember that healing is a process. But by reminding them of the powerful love that God has for them, you can help them find peace and joy even in the midst of difficult times. Encourage them to trust in God's plan, to rely on his comfort and grace, and to be part of a Christian community that supports and loves them. With time, your child can heal and move forward into a future that's bright and full of promise.

1st day of fasting

"Your presence oh God! How peaceful and comforting!" As I was reading my devotions, I was praying to God to reveal to me something, maybe a verse, a phrase or a word from Him. At this time I was self-pitying already as I did not take any food and I was really worried that I can't do what I have promised to God. I was agitated but asked God for strength and will to continue with my fasting. I was really worried that Im already feeling this way on the first day of fasting. Ow how I love food! But God! I swear! I love you more! Give me grace, give me will-power. It was when I was writing on my journal that I suddenly felt this comfort and peace and I was so sure that it was from God, it is and will always be from God. I suddenly feel that God was comforting me, saying that I do not have to worry, that I do not have to prove anything to Him. There was this sudden gosh of peace and comfort from Him that I cannot even remember the last time I felt it. It was the feeling I miss, the feeling I longed for, then I realise God has made things easy, it is only us who complicates it. Talking to Him was easy, we are just to busy and distracted with many useless things. God is alive. He is just there waiting for us to talk to Him. If only we could open our eyes to see His grace and open our ears to hear his enchanting voice. My prayer oh God, is that may we always find time to talk to you, to hear your voice. My prayer oh God is to forgive stubborn child, and may this stubborn child also forgive herself and not to be to hard to herself. My prayer oh God is for us to realise that you want nothing but Goodness. You are love, you are perfect. May we fall for you everyday Lord, may we show our love to you as well, in every way. Love, Geechack ❤️
