There will be days when you feel like giving up, you will wonder if you will ever heal, if you will ever stop feeling the effects of your abuse.What makes healing difficult is that it is not a one time thing. You won't just heal and then move on with the rest of your life. There will be seasons of life where you are more effected by the abuse then others, but the power it has on your life WILL lesson, and each time you face its effects -you will have more tools to deal with it. You may find that songs, or scriptures, hymns or pictures, or favorite quotes can be a part of that tool box to strengthen you when you are feeling less powerful. That is why I will continue to try to share some of my favorite quotes. If you have any of the above that have helped you please don't be afraid to share!
"None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges—and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told, “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy...
How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: “Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.” ....I testify to you that our promised blessings are beyond measure. Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us." ( President Monson "Be of Good Cheer" Ensign April 2009)
