Three Bible Verses I Love for Healing

Trigger Warning: Infertility

The last two years have been painful. My family and I went through some devastating experiences. I've had good faith in Jesus for most of my life, but during these moments, it can very hard to speak to anyone or be hopeful. I do know however, He has started healing the cracks in my heart and these are the verses I will refer to when things feel hard.

Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day.
Psalm 139:12

​Nothing is scary to God. One of the scariest moments I encountered was waking up from surgery in Tennessee. My gynecologist believed I had Endometriosis, but during the surgery to look for it, they found nothing. For a period of time, I really thought I was making up my pain and being delusional. I was heartbroken and scared that no answers were coming.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17

One of the biggest lessons I learned was that I deserve freedom. Freedom from my physical pain. Freedom from my guilt. Freedom from the things I missed out on. God has taught me my freedom is worth fighting for and that when I ask Him for help, He will give me rest. 

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 
2 Corinthians 4:8 

I love the visuals of this verse. It is especially cool how it describes different stages of pain. We may be pushed to extreme circumstances, but God is not far.

I remember mornings when my eyes would sting and feel sore, because of how much I cried the night before. If you have been hurting for a long time, healing is still possible for you. You can let Jesus in, even if it's only one piece of you at a time.

Thanks for stopping by. Healing is tricky and not really that fun, but I thought I'd fill you in on what God has been teaching me.
