Recovering From Traumatic Experiences with Rick Warren

I have been reading the Bible nonstop for 1115 days, finished the entire Bible 3 times in 2020 as I was suffering symptoms of PTSD. I thank God for helping me overcome all the delusions and fears because of His Word. Matthew 6:25-34 is my favourite. It is the Lord who provided, and I accepted it. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who deserves praise, glory and honour.

Realizing my identity in Jesus literally saved my life. I was raised by narcissists and the image of which I saw myself did not match how Jesus sees me. Learning the power of relationship with Jesus has been the miracle that has saved my life. I am so excited to be His. I'm getting baptized on July 10th. A new birth certificate. I am not the daughter of narcissists, I am the daughter of The King of Heaven. I do not need to beg for scraps. I am a princess, I was born to lead people to Jesus so they can be healed through His love, just like how He healed me.

My husband was abusive and left me and my boys after 25 years of marriage. I am facing a lot of grief mixed with anger and pain. Please pray for us. I pray for God to do a miracle.

Listening to this at work and Pastor you're touching my soul because it's exactly what I thought. I was a victim of rape and I absolutely blamed myself and said there was something so fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't distinguish between good and bad people and it was my fault - it was because I was broken. I absorbed all responsibility for someone who take away my choice. This is such an important message! Because it's so easy when you go through trauma to end up blaming yourself.

I've been in traumas & struggling for 10 years. Thank you.

WOW, I NEEDED THIS MESSAGE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU PASTOR RICK. 💜

I came back home in 2015 at the age of 61 to care for my elderly mother. After 6 years mom passed away in her home of over 60 years at the age of 85. I did everything I could to make mom comfortable and make her environment peacefully. Even when it became hard as the 24/7 caregiver, GOD always gave me the strength to keep going. The entire time I was caring for Mom my family members constantly and consistently criticized everything I was doing for Mom. One of my brothers who lived close by treated Mom and me like an ATM machine and when mom passed he immediately started sending me text messages demanding I give him money. The texts have been coming 4 and 5 times a day for over 30 days. Calling me names and threatening that he has an attorney. I can’t even grieve Moms passing for dealing with all the criticism on how I did the funeral and everything I did for mom. I protected and shielded mom from as much negativity that I could. This sermon has blessed me. Thank you Pastor Rick.

We love you too pastor, thank you for all the spiritual food you give us. God bless you!

This is amazing 🥺🙏🏽❤️
Thank you, we pray for you, pastor, here in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Am I ever glad I came across this and decided to listen to it! The deepest questions I've ever pondered, finally an answer to them that properly explains it. Thank you so much, Pastor Rick Warren, for this message. I needed this!

The film 'The Shack' puts this message across well about why God doesn't wipe out evil people here and now. If you've ever experienced trauma like I have, that film will bring out all your hurt, have you crying and then bring you into understanding of God's love in your pain.

Thank you Pastor Rick and our Heavenly Father!
