Devotional: Overcoming The Enemies of Self-Love

Day 6: Unhealed Trauma – The Hidden Wounds That Hold You Back

Scripture: Psalm 147:3 – "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Devotion: Trauma doesn’t always wear visible scars—it hides in habits, reactions, and

silence. Unhealed wounds distort how we see ourselves and how we receive love. God is not

just the healer of bodies; He’s the mender of memories. To love yourself is to admit what

hurt you, and allow God to begin the work of healing.

Practice: Identify one event or memory that still causes you pain. Journal how it has affected

the way you treat yourself. Invite God into that memory in prayer.☐ I completed today’s practice.

Reflection:

Prayer: Jesus, I bring You the pain I’ve hidden, the wound I’ve carried too long. Begin the

healing in me. Rewire my thoughts, renew my identity, and remind me that You make all

things new. Amen.
