The Healing Process

We’ve all wished for healing to happen instantly. Who hasn’t prayed for God to simply take away the pain and resolve everything quickly? But our God, in His wisdom, works healing as a process—a journey where He transforms us as He restores us.

In the army, a wounded soldier doesn’t return to the battlefield the same day. There’s a period of recovery and training until they’re ready to move forward, stronger and better prepared than before. The same is true for us in God’s Kingdom. He doesn’t rush us; instead, He invites us to wait on Him, trusting that every stage has a purpose.

Waiting on the Lord doesn’t mean standing still and doing nothing. It’s an active waiting, filled with faith and surrender, where we learn to depend on Him and allow Him to shape us. During this process, God doesn’t just heal the wounds—He strengthens, teaches, and transforms us. What was once just pain can become a testimony of learning and renewal.

Perhaps you’re in the middle of this process right now, and it feels long and difficult. I want to encourage you: don’t give up. God is working in you, even if you don’t see it. And remember, friends, during the healing process, we can support one another. As sisters in faith, we are called to be shoulders for our friends to lean on, helping them trust that God is in control.

Today, take a deep breath and trust in God’s timing. He hasn’t forgotten you, and the work He began in your life will be completed. Your strength will be renewed, and you will rise stronger, ready to fulfill the purpose He has for you.

Reflection Question: What is God teaching you in the healing process? How can you support a friend who is walking the same path?
