Scripture reveals Him as Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals (Psalm 103:3). Even when trauma was meant for harm, God can strategically turn it for good (Genesis 50:20). He comforts us in our affliction so we may walk in freedom (2 Corinthians 1:3–4). Through Christ, we are not destined to remain bound by past pain — whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). Healing is not only possible — it is part of our inheritance.
