Lord, I am carrying wounds from things that should never have happened to me. The past does not stay in the past — it shows up in my body, my reactions, the way I brace for danger that is not here. Your word speaks of being hidden in Your shelter in the day of trouble, set high upon a rock — so be that safe place for me, the security that was taken or never given. I am not asking You to erase what happened or to rush a healing that cannot be rushed; I am asking You to make me safe enough, slowly, to begin to mend. Be gentle with the parts of me that learned to survive in hard ways. Where the memories surface, meet me there rather than leaving me alone with them. And lead me to people trained to help carry this, because trauma was never meant to be healed in isolation. Keep me in Your shelter, Lord, and heal me at the pace I can bear. Amen.
A prayer for you
Prayer for Healing From Trauma
Healing from trauma is slow, nonlinear work; here are gentle words for a wound that still shapes today.
“For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.”
