We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; Perplexed, but not in despair, Persecuted, but not abandoned, Struck down, but not destroyed. —2 Corinthians 4:8, 9 Scripture Reading: We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8, 9 INTRODUCTION Abuse, whether experienced as a child, or through a violent act, or within the home, leaves scars that can last a lifetime. God is our Healer and our Helper in all our pain and trials. He has given us doctors, counselors, friends, and family members who will walk with us through the healing process. What is it in the human psyche that gives us the ability to rebound from life’s major challenges? Resilience. The good news is that God’s path to resilience can be learned by each of us. People need to feel hopeful and useful, and these God-given tendencies help us rebound and navigate the new normal with flexibility and adaptability. Today, we will look at both scientific and scriptural ways to develop resilience.
