Maybe you do, but maybe you don't.

Maybe you know it in your head - or at least want to believe it - but every other part of you feels like you won't.
Especially your heart.

Once upon a time, I was in that place.
A place where I would verbally tell myself every day
"I'm going to be okay."
"I will be okay."

Some days, I didn't believe it.
Some days, I didn't think it would ever be true.

Even then, I still forced myself to say it.
I chose to speak life over myself and my situations.
Every day.
Multiple times a day.

Sometimes I was saying it through tears. Several times I can remember driving home late at night, tears running down my face, repeating "I'm going to be okay."
Over
And over
And over

Looking back, I can't remember a specific day that it became true.
There wasn't a specific moment where I thought "As of this moment, I'm okay again."

It was gradual
Slowly
A process

But what I do know, is I'm okay now.
I'm healed.

And you will be, too.

Whatever your situation.
Whatever your circumstance.
Whatever pain.
Whatever heartbreak.
Whatever hurt.
Tell yourself you're going to be okay.
Tell yourself how strong you are.
How strong your God is.
Trust the process.

One day you'll remember the crying, and realize you don't even remember when exactly it stopped.
But it won't matter, because you're okay.

"fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." -isaiah 41:10
