“‘But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord,…”
Jeremiah 30:17
We sat in reflective silence, processing the words just spoken over the several hours it took to share her story. Recounting the catalogue of childhood traumas and the subsequent repercussions in her adult life was painful to hear. I prayed silently, asking God for wisdom on responding appropriately. As she concluded her story, she looked at me imploringly and asked, “Will I ever heal?”
