Healing from Family Wounds—God’s Path to Wholeness
Share
Family is meant to be a place of love, safety, and belonging.
But for many of us, it’s also where some of our deepest wounds were formed. Words that cut. Absence that left a void. Betrayal that shattered trust. The scars they left behind can feel impossible to heal.
Here’s the truth: God never intended for you to live in the shadow of your past pain. His plan for you includes healing, restoration, and freedom.
In Perfectly Placed, I share how God can take even the most painful family experiences and use them to shape us into who He created us to be. Healing is not pretending the hurt never happened—it’s allowing God to mend what’s broken and lead you into peace.
How to Begin the Healing Process
✅ Acknowledge the Hurt
Ignoring pain doesn’t make it disappear. Bringing it before God opens the door for His healing work to begin.
✅ Choose Forgiveness
Not because they earned it, but because you deserve freedom. Forgiveness breaks the chains that pain uses to keep you bound. (See also: When Forgiveness Feels Impossible: Healing After Betrayal in the Family)
✅ Set Healthy Boundaries
Love doesn’t mean tolerating mistreatment. Setting boundaries is an act of wisdom and self-care, helping protect the peace God has given you.
✅ Trust God’s Purpose
Even in brokenness, God is weaving something beautiful. You are not defined by what happened to you—you are defined by the purpose God placed inside you.
Your Story Is Not Over
Your past does not determine your future. Healing is possible—and God is inviting you to step into a place of peace and purpose.
