Trusting God When Fortitude Fails You

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.
