Hope for the Spiritually Abused
Every spiritual abuse crisis disrupts faith and challenges a fundamental understanding of the goodness of God. For the victim of pastoral sexual abuse, the spiritual despair is relentless and overwhelming.
Here are some thoughts worth remembering…
You say: “It’s impossible.” You say: “I’m too tired.” You say: “Nobody really loves me.” You say: “I can’t go on.” You say: “I can’t figure things out.” You say: “I can’t do it.” You say: “I’m not able.” |
You say: “It’s not worth it.” You say: “I can’t forgive myself.” You say: “I can’t manage.” You say: “I’m afraid.” You say: “I’m always worried and frustrated.” You say: “I’m not smart enough.” You say: “I feel all alone.” |
