Some wounds don’t heal in a day. Some don’t disappear after one altar call or even after years of prayer. And if that’s you—if you’re still waiting for complete healing—you’re not broken beyond repair. You’re still in the hands of the Great Physician, and He’s not done with you.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3 (ESV)

There’s a lie many of us quietly believe: “If I really trusted God, I’d be over this by now.” That kind of thinking minimizes the deep, layered work of the Holy Spirit. Healing is not always instant—it’s often gradual. And that’s not a failure. That’s intimacy.

God’s healing work often comes in waves. Why? Because He knows what we’re ready for. Sometimes we want to be done with the process, but God is more interested in the root than the surface. He doesn’t just clean up the symptoms—He goes after the source.

That relationship you can’t get over? The childhood wound that still defines your decisions? The betrayal that lingers even after forgiveness? These aren’t signs that God’s failed. They’re signs that you’re human—and that healing is still unfolding.

And here’s the best part: God is not impatient with your process. He’s not keeping score. He’s not rushing you to “get over it.” He is walking with you, layer by layer, moment by moment, from shattered to whole.

Healing isn’t linear. It doesn’t follow your schedule. But it does follow your surrender.

So don’t quit. Don’t bury the pain. Don’t fake strength. God isn’t finished yet—and when He finishes a work, it’s beautiful.

Question of the Day:Are you trying to rush your healing or have you surrendered fully to God’s pace and process?

Mini Call to Action:Say this aloud today: “Lord, I trust You with my healing—even when it feels slow. I believe You are working in me.”

Let’s Pray:Father, I surrender to Your pace. Heal the places I’ve kept hidden. Mend the wounds I thought would always ache. Thank You that You don’t give up on broken things—You restore them. I’m Yours, and I trust Your timing. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!Healing isn’t a deadline—it’s a journey with the One who knows you best. Stay close, stay honest, and stay surrendered.
