What is Personal Pain?

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

So, what is past pain, and how exactly are we going to work toward being free of it? Sources and causes for our past pain may result from cases of neglect, abuse, abandonment, parents’ divorce, our own divorce, broken relationships, traumatic loss or death, being bullied, school issues, self-esteem, puberty, sexual identity, gender confusion, serious illness or disease, or any of the many things that get under our skin and clamp down until we feel as though we’ve lost control.

It’s important that if you haven’t already identified what it is that haunts you, ask God to reveal to you what it is in your spirit that you need to be freed from. God doesn't want you shackled to pain from the past because it stops you from fully engaging with Him and limits your capacity to receive His full measure of a blessed life.
