Such attacks produce spiritual, emotional and physical distress if the painful events are not properly processed and dealt with. Thankfully there are a number of effective means to heal such scars, several of which we have listed below.

Pursue healing using each of the above as necessary. Don't stop until you are completely healed, and the Kingdom realities of righteousness, joy and peace are fully intact in your life (Rom. 14:17).
A hurt is healed when you can see the gift God has produced in your life.
Healing is maintained by looking steadfastly at the gift and not the trauma.
