Have you ever wondered why healing feels like it’s taking forever? I Have

Healing isn’t easy—it takes time, intention, and much grace, especially for ourselves. I’ve been there, feeling like I should “just get over it” or expecting instant fixes to deep hurts. But I’ve learned that healing is like nature; it unfolds in seasons. Growth often happens quietly beneath the surface before it becomes visible. And in my healing journey, prayer has been the lifeline that kept me steady when I felt like giving up.

I think about Psalm 103:8: “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” This verse reminds me of God’s patience, meeting me in my brokenness with a love that never runs out. If the Creator of the universe extends such grace to us, why do we struggle to give it to ourselves? I had to learn that, and it was a hard lesson, but it changed everything.

Whether rebuilding my confidence or moving forward from painful moments, prayer became my anchor. It reminded me to take small steps forward, no matter how insignificant they seemed, and trust that God guided me through it all. Healing didn’t mean forgetting what happened—it meant letting those wounds transform into wisdom, strength, and a deeper connection with God.

When doubt whispered lies, I leaned into prayer and asked God to renew my patience—not just with the process but with myself. Little by little, I began to see how the wounds that once felt unbearable started to heal. What I thought would break me became the foundation of my resilience and growth. And if He could bring me through that, I know He can do the same for you. Healing takes time, but with God, it’s possible. Keep going—you’re not alone.
