Letting Go of Fear, Childhood Trauma, and Finding My Identity in Christ

---

Healing is not always instant.

Sometimes it is a process of release.

A surrender.

---

Healing

I held onto my fears,

My pain,

And my childhood trauma—

Even after my sins

Were forgiven

On the cross.

I thought I could overcome them

On my own,

Not realizing

That holding onto them

Was preventing

My healing.

They kept me lost,

Wandering

In the wilderness.

I knew I had to let them go

For good.

They could no longer

Be a part

Of my story.

I couldn’t move forward

Until I surrendered them

To God.

And when I did,

He took them from me

And gave me

A fresh start.

I was no longer

That broken little girl,

But a new woman

In Christ.

Healing begins where surrender starts. Let go of the pain, fear, or past hurts that God has already forgiven. Ask yourself: What if you really released them? What could God rebuild in you if you let Him? You are not meant to wander in the wilderness forever. Freedom is possible. A fresh start is waiting.
