Naming My Hurt
A Faithful Look Within
Day 2
“He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3
For many of us, hurt has lived inside us longer than we realize. It shows up as defensiveness, numbness, anger, avoidance, or self-protection. But beneath all of that is a wound — something unhealed, something that mattered deeply.
Naming your hurt is not weakness. It is the beginning of healing.
God never brushes off our pain. Scripture is full of people who named their wounds honestly — David, Jeremiah, Hannah — and God met each one with compassion, not condemnation.
Sometimes the hardest part of healing is admitting that something hurt us in the first place.
And here’s the truth: God meets honesty with healing. Not judgment. Not disappointment. Healing.
Today, take one small step toward naming your hurt in God’s presence. You don’t have to relive it — you only have to acknowledge it.
Prayer for your day
God, show me the places where I am hurting. Meet me with Your gentleness and heal what I cannot fix on my own. Amen.
Put it in action
Ask God: “What hurt in my story still needs healing?”
Write down one word or phrase that comes to mind.

Naming my hurt is not reliving the past — it’s releasing it into God’s hands.
