37 | Is God Real Even When I Have Lost Trust From the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse?

from Hope In The Fire | Childhood Sexual Abuse, Childhood Trauma Healing, Biblical Wellness, Mindset, Identity · host Leslie Chermak - Christian Podcaster, Certified Life Coach & Speaker

Is God real? This is a question that gets asked from every woman who has experienced childhood sexual abuse.   In this episode, Leslie touches a deep rooted subject. Shares her own experience of asking God for evidence that He hears her.   In Matthew 5:8 Jesus says, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God."  It can be tough when you feel fear, have anger, a lack of trust and so much shame.   But God gives safety to those who trust Him. You can experience peace and joy when you find freedom in Jesus Christ.  Leslie declares God for her life and encourages you to do the same:  God I want to see you. God I want to hear you. God I want to know you. God I want to follow hard after you. Therefore, I'm declaring today, God, you are good. You are good to me and God. You are good at being God. So I'm safe enough to trade my will for thy will, because I'm so confident you will God. Now today give me someone to forgive. Show me someone to bless. Show me evidence all around me of your goodness and faithfulness.    🔗 Connect with Me: 👉 Schedule a Rooted & Risen Coaching Session. >>Grab a set of “My Identity In Christ” reflection cards.  Identity In Christ Cards-Teal  Identity In Christ Cards-Mauve >> Download my free 5 Steps to Becoming An Overcomer >> Visit https://lesliechermak.com/work-with-leslie/  for more support. >> I’ll meet you in your inbox on Fridays!   https://lesliechermak.myflodesk.com/newsletter >> Visit Website: https://lesliechermak.com/
