Finding Comfort and Healing in God's Word
Jun 29, 2024Life sometimes turns out differently than we thought it would. One of the most devastating areas that this happens in is marriage. When your relationship began, you felt so loved and full of hope then it changed into something confusing, scary, and isolating.
You feel betrayed and unsure what to do.
Living in the shadows of domestic abuse creates a loss of hope but that is NOT the end of your story. As a Christian, you can know that you are not alone. God's love surrounds you, and His Word offers you a beacon of strength, comfort, and hope on your journey to healing.
Here are a few verses to hold close to you heart:
Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble"
This verse reminds us that God is always with us, even in the darkest moments. He is our safe haven, our source of unwavering strength.
Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Here, God speaks directly to our fears. He tells us not to be afraid, for He is by our side. He promises to strengthen us, to help us, and to never let us go.
Romans 8:26 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."
Sometimes, the pain can be so deep that words fail us. But this verse assures us that the Holy Spirit understands our suffering, even when we cannot express it.
These are just a few of the many scriptures that offer comfort and hope. As you spend time in God's Word, allow these verses to wash over you. Pray over them, meditated on them, and let them become a source of strength in your daily life.
Consider joining an Oasis Bible Study online support class. There are 3 books that were designed with you in mind. They are full of scripture, knowledge about abuse, and practical things you can do on your healing journey.
Domestic abuse survivor, Carly said this about the Oasis Bible Study,
"Through studying God's truth about me, His design for healthy relationships and the support of the women in my group I became educated, empowered and equipped to face my situation and to make changes in my life."
Oasis is a great place for you whether you are just beginning your healing journey or whether you have been on it for for a while. Remember, healing is a journey, not a destination. There will be good days and bad days. But through it all, God will be with you and having a support system of other women that understand where you are coming from can be what you need to find healing, hope, and regain your sense of self.
