Prayers He Answered By Making You Tender Instead Of Hard

Updated

Maybe healing was never supposed to make you harder to hurt. Maybe it was supposed to teach you that you could remain tender without abandoning yourself.

You prayed for protection.

He answered by making sure you could still feel deeply, even after being hurt.

He answered by showing you your sensitivity was never the weakness

Jacqueline Whitney

You prayed for strength.

He answered by keeping your softness intact, so strength wouldn’t cost you your heart.

You prayed to be less sensitive.

He answered by showing you your sensitivity was never the weakness. It was one of the most sacred parts of you.

You prayed to stop feeling everything so intensely.

He answered by teaching you how to hold your feelings with more grace, not by taking them away.

You prayed to be harder to break.

He answered by making you softer and more resilient at the same time. Both things you thought couldn’t exist together.
