To Heal It, We Must Reveal It

This past week I attended the Seers and Dreamers Gathering at Harvest Church in Turlock, California. I came with two intentions in my heart: to serve and to receive. Serving as an intern with Jennifer Eivaz is always such a blessing because there is a continual pour of wisdom, revelation, and encouragement. Yet this time, God did something deeper in me than I expected.

I came to serve, but I also came hungry. I had been praying for breakthrough in my heart concerning some personal matters. I had been asking the Lord to meet me in the places that still felt tender. And can I say this? I received more than I bargained for.

God showed up in such a powerful way. He began to heal things I had carried quietly for years. He revealed things that needed to come into the light. And along with the healing came strategy and divine insight about how to move forward.

But the truth is, a few years ago I would not have been able to receive what God had for me.

My heart had become hardened through the pain of betrayal and years of simply stuffing my emotions down. I told myself I was “fine,” but the truth was that unprocessed pain was taking a toll on my heart, my mind, and even my physical body. What I refused to face emotionally began to manifest as sickness and distress physically.

Over time the Lord began teaching me something profound: if I truly want to heal, I must bring everything to His feet. Every wound. Every hurt. Every disappointment. Every piece of heartache.

His shoulders are big enough to carry it.

Many of us hesitate to bring our pain to the Lord because we do not want to sit in it. Processing can feel uncomfortable, even painful. But ignoring pain never makes it disappear. In fact, the longer we avoid it, the deeper it buries itself within us.

Healing begins when we are willing to sit with the Lord and be honest about what hurts.

I am learning a powerful truth in this season: what I reveal, He will heal.

When we bring our broken places to Jesus, we are not met with judgment. We are met with compassion, restoration, and love. He does not turn away from our wounds. He leans into them.

So today my prayer for you is simple.

Bring it all to Him.

Sit at His feet. Tell Him the truth about what hurt you. Tell Him what disappointed you. Tell Him where you feel broken.

And do not allow what hurt you to also silence you.

Your healing may be waiting on the other side of your honesty with God.

Prayer

Lord, today I bring every hidden wound and every unspoken pain to You. I trust that Your shoulders are strong enough to carry what I cannot. Heal the places in my heart that I have tried to hide. Give me the courage to reveal what needs healing and the grace to sit with You while You restore me. Amen.
