Help to heal the hurting

Today is a new day, a beautiful one in fact. Even on days such as this one, I am in a struggle I have been in the process of trying to move forward from for nearly 8 months. 

One of the greatest struggles we face, because I know I am not the only one out there battling a heart break, is the constant battle to see the positive in the promise of a healed heart in our future, as opposed to focusing on the negative which is our pain in the current moment.

 I believe in inspiration from those already in a phase of healing we strive to be in, the faith that God is good and through our struggles he promises to reveal this suffering as part of his greater plan for each of us, and also to accept that it truly is our moments of weakness and pain that make those of peace and calm that much more appreciated and savored. 

Here are a few things I have put together to express myself through hope. 

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk to blossom."
-Anais Nin

"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24) Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25) And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
-- Mark 11: 23-25

"Don't make someone your priority that is only making you an option."

"I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn't brighten her own."

"And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation."
--2 Corinthians 1:7

Everything happens for a reason...

"There were reasons we met, reasons for the good times and reasons for the bad times, and most importantly a reason to end. We have more to learn, more to experience and more loving to do in this lifetime."

"There is peace and comfort in sorrow."

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."

"The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays."

-all from Soren Kieregaard

When you forgive, you in no way change the past – but you sure do change the future.
- Bernard Meltzer

Continue to heal through pray, keeping calm and carrying on, and granting yourself the time to heal for it is a process of growth and change.
