Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Readings:
JER 7:23-28
PS 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9
LK 11:14-23

Those who have had an abortion can certainly relate to the feeling of being "possessed" by thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that tempt us to despair in our healing. At times it seems as if you are drowning in a sea of despair, feeling there is no way out.

You can become overwhelmed with feeling unloveable, unforgiveable, worthless, evil… I could go on and on. We are often tempted to stay locked into the old thinking and behaviors that cause us to doubt the love of God and His forgiveness.

Fighting against these things takes action on our part. A conscious movement of the will to rebuke the snares of the devil. Let us then stand "fully armed" dividing satan against himself and placing our trust in God, claiming the healing and mercy He is giving us and standing firm in His Kingdom .
