healing

When I think of this part of the verse I think about those who have lost a loved one from a shooting or a bad circumstance. I have never been in a situation like that and hope to never be.

I apply this verse by focusing on the healing part. There are many people who will hurt you in life and I have had those people in my life and still do but I have made the decision to not focus on that hurt but the healing that Christ brings through his love for me. It's amazing the healing that Christ can bring during a time of difficulty. When I think of the Lord in this way I always think of "Jehovah Shalom" which means the God of peace. There have been many times in my life I have been anxious or uncertain about a circumstance and the Lord has always prevailed and shown himself faithful to provide peace. As a child, facing the trials that I did with my family, I know Christ's hand was always over me providing a shield of protection and peace. It is my honor to praise and give glory to the Lord of my life and the Lord of peace.
