5 Bible Verses & Paintings to Inspire Healing
Life is not always easy. Many, if not all of us, have faced painful circumstances and experienced the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness that comes with difficult seasons of life. But, there is beautiful news - we have a loving Savior, The Prince of Peace, who walks beside us through all of life’s trials.
Hebrews 13:5-6 tells us that God has said “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
I believe God stands true in His promises. I have witnessed, first-hand, His overwhelming love and provision in my own life. His faithfulness has permeated through every season I’ve gone through. I came from a dysfunctional upbringing and suffered neglect and sexual abuse from distant relatives. The Lord has walked me through my lifetime of healing and I want to encourage you to lean on Him as you navigate difficult seasons and find healing in your own life.
Today, I’m sharing 5 verses and 5 paintings to inspire healing as you navigate challenging seasons.

Vanessa,
Thank you so much for sharing your story, you being transparent and so vulnerable has encouraged me in my walk with Jesus. I had been saved over thirty years ago. Leading up to and following a rather unpleasant divorce I was angry and God and walked away from my first love. This lead to the past eight years living my life in direct conflict with all I knew and believed deep in my heart.
The past few years have been filled with alcoholism, addictions things I never imagined I would be a part of.
God as always has been gracious with me, I have been able to maintain a career in healthcare in spite of myself. In Sept of 2023 the career I had made my God was temporarily placed on hold due to an injury sustained during an emergent procedure. I’ve been off awaiting approval for a couple of surgeries.
I have a son who is a Pastor, he suggested that God had allowed this as He has something better for me. It’s what I’ve clinged to the past few months. I have recommitted my life to Jesus Christ last month and have experienced the peace that passes all understanding once again.
I recently had the pleasure of being lead to your site, your testimony as well as your work have encouraged as well as inspired me as well as inspired.
Thank you for all you do, your boldness in proclaiming the redeeming power of the gospel.
May God continue to bless and keep you.
Tom
