Do you feel that every day you wake up feels pointless, sad or empty? While others may wake up and see the beautiful life that God has given them, you simply can't. You have pain from a dark past that is pushing you down, consuming your thoughts, and making it impossible to see the joy in life. If the pain you’ve suffered in your past is still impacting your life, you won't be able to fully embrace the future life God has ahead of you. Instead, you will be stuck in a frustrating cycle of brokenness that leaves you feeling hopeless.

The key to overcoming your past pain is by choosing to invite God into your life. Here are some ways you can begin opening yourself up to the Lord, so you can accept His grace, love and hope. Through this, you will be able to start the healing process.
