Trauma & Pain. When Healing Begins (en Inglés) - Lashay Johnson

Trauma and Pain: Where Healing Begins is a compassionate devotional journey for women who have carried wounds quietly for far too long. This book was written with one sacred goal: to help you name your pain without retraumatizing your heart.

Many women have survived seasons that were never fully acknowledged-moments that shaped them, broke them, or forced them to become strong too soon. Instead of rushing healing or minimizing what happened, this devotional invites you to slow down and bring those experiences into the presence of a God who sees, understands, and cares deeply.

Through gentle reflection and scripture-centered encouragement, you will walk through powerful themes such as Naming What Broke You, The Wounds You Don't Talk About, When Pain Becomes Identity, and Healing the Little Girl Inside. Each entry creates a safe spiritual space to acknowledge what was real while discovering that your story is not defined by the wounds you carry.

Anchored in scriptures like Genesis 16:13, where Hagar encounters El Roi-the God who sees, Psalm 34:18, the honest cries found in the Lament Psalms, and Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28, this devotional reveals a God who meets us in our memories with compassion rather than pressure.

Inside these pages you will also explore reflections such as:

Rather than asking you to rush past your pain, Trauma and Pain: Where Healing Begins invites you to witness your story with God present in the memory. It reminds you that healing begins not with pretending the pain never happened, but with acknowledging it in the presence of a loving Father who never stopped seeing you.

This devotional is for women who need a place where they feel held, not hurried-a sacred space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover that even in the hardest chapters of your life, God's compassion was never absent.

Because the God who saw you survive...
is the same God who now walks with you toward healing.
