The Courage to Heal Allowing God into the Places That Still Hurt

God’s healing presence bringing peace to a wounded heart

Courage to Heal

Healing often requires courage because it asks us to revisit the places we would rather avoid. Yet those hidden places are often where God wants to bring His deepest restoration.

God is near to the brokenhearted and faithful to heal what has been wounded. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that He draws close to those who are hurting. Healing is not about pretending the pain never existed—it is about allowing God into it. The courage to heal means being honest about our wounds, surrendering them to God, and trusting Him to restore what has been broken.

Propelling Point

Healing begins when we invite God into the places we have tried to protect.

Propel Activation

Take time to identify one area of emotional pain you may still be carrying. Bring it honestly before God and ask Him to begin His healing work there.
