Trusting God When Fortitude Fails You

Finding Peace in the Presence of God

In Need Of A Prince

I loved Snow White and Cinderella as a child. These fairytales would take a troubled child to a place where everything was magical and problems would be whisked away by talking animals and a handsome prince. I believed I would be happy if I just found my Prince Charming.

I never did get talking mice and singing birds that made beautiful ball gowns. I have had tiny little monsters in my closet that chewed holes in my shoe boxes and the occasional bird poop on my car. But what I really needed was a Prince. What any troubled child or adult in a broken world needs is a Prince.

Our Heavenly Father gave us a Prince.

“For unto us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His Name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:5 TLV

Childhood trauma leaves us wounded and a magical cast of characters cannot heal us. Counselors, therapists, and step plan recovery groups are great options. But begin your journey to healing with the Wonderful Counselor. If you feel like you will always be broken let your Heavenly Father heal you.

“He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 TLV

Turn away from your sinful nature. Seek God and find your healing, your joy, and your peace. Let the mountains sing and the trees clap for you.

“Yes, you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills will break forth before you singing, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12 TLV

In Jesus we have a True Prince. Find your peace and if you have a ball gown wear it.

I love God and am loved by Him. I am a wife, mother and writer. I have spent most of my life keeping God at a distance. Of course He was always with me. In a world where we may feel we can never measure up, God tells us we are wonderfully and fearfully made. I had so much guilt and shame from a traumatic childhood experience. The trauma became greater when I told a trusted adult who did not believe my story. Guilt and shame left me feeling unworthy. I felt that I was nothing more than a sinner. I tried to live “right” but found it easier to just accept who I thought I would always be. Giving my life to Jesus gave me freedom but I held on to my old beliefs far too long. I hope to encourage others to seek God in all things and trust in Him and not in this world. The sins of others and your own sins do not define you. Accept God’s gift of grace through Jesus, who is Grace. “For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14 TLV

About Me

I love God who loves me. I am a wife and mother. I have spent most of my life keeping God at a distance. Of course He was always right here with me. In a world where we may feel we can never measure up, God tells us “we are fearfully and wonderfully made”. I had so much guilt and shame that I developed from a childhood experience. Because of my guilt and shame I often felt unworthy and sinful. I often tried to do the “ right thing”, but I found it easier to just accept who I thought I was and would always be. Giving my life to Jesus gave me freedom but I held on to my old beliefs far too long. I hope to encourage others to seek God in all things and trust in Him and not the world.
