Healing Takes Time—And That’s Okay

God is working, even when you don’t see it.

"If these devotionals have been a blessing to you, consider supporting our ministry so we can continue sharing God’s word with women around the world. Your generosity helps spread His light! 🙏 ‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.’ – 2 Corinthians 9:7"

Key Verse:
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

Devotional:

Healing—whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual—doesn’t happen overnight. You may be waiting for a wound to mend, a heart to be restored, or a pain to fade. And sometimes, the process feels slow, frustrating, or even hopeless.

But Psalm 147:3 reminds us of God’s promise: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Healing is not something you have to figure out on your own—God is the one doing the work. Just because you don’t feel healed yet doesn’t mean He isn’t moving. Some wounds take time, and that’s okay.

Trust the process. Keep leaning on Him. Your pain is not permanent, and God’s love is carrying you through. One day, you’ll look back and see how He was healing you all along.

Reflection & Prayer Prompt:

  • What area of your life needs healing right now?

  • Ask God to help you be patient and trust Him through the process.

Faith in Action:

Do something gentle for yourself today—take a walk, journal, listen to worship music. Give yourself grace as you heal.

Prayer:

Lord, I know healing takes time, but sometimes the waiting is hard. Help me to trust that You are restoring me, even when I can’t see it. Bind up my wounds and remind me that Your love is making me whole. Amen.
