Through the Bible Study…Again and Again
Gina had an abortion years ago. Since then, she’s been through Align’s abortion recovery Bible study twice. She’s gone to meetings at other churches and been through several individual counseling sessions. Yet much to her dismay, she didn’t feel healed. So she signed up for Align’s recent abortion recovery group, wanting to try again.
After the first session, our group leaders talked with Gina to see if there were any strongholds in her life holding her back from healing. They reminded her of the tools she had in her spiritual toolbox: her daily relationship with Jesus and the Word of God. And they prayed earnestly over her, asking God for a breakthrough. Afterward, Gina experienced more calm and peace. She felt a new level of empowerment to use those spiritual tools.
In our experience, some abortion recovery clients find healing by the end of their first Bible study. Other clients, like Gina, find that they need to go through the study multiple times before they experience the level of healing that their hearts are longing for. Each person’s journey has unique aspects to it, and it’s our privilege to walk with them as long as it takes.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a past abortion, remember that the Lord is patient and kind. Keep on reaching out to Him as you wrestle through abortion’s horrible aftermath. If you don’t know what to pray, consider Psalm 6:2, which says, “Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled.”
