Recovering from Pain

Recovering from pain or disappointment of any kind is not something that just happens to some people and not to others. It is a decision! You decide to let go and move on.

You learn from mistakes. You gather up the fragments of your life and give them to Jesus, and He will make sure that nothing is wasted (See John 6:12). You refuse to think about what you have lost. Instead, you inventory what you have left and begin using it with a thankful heart.

In Christ, not only can you recover, but you can also be used to help other people recover. Be a living example of a thankful person who always recover from setbacks no matter how difficult or frequent they are.

Do not ever say, “I just cannot go on.” Instead, say, “I can do whatever I need to do with Christ. I will never quit, because God is on my side.”

Prayer of Thanks

Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you that you bring healing in my life and you can create beauty from ashes.

I pray that you will help me press on, refusing to quit.

I want to use my experiences to help others find the same healing that I have found.
