This is episode 9 of the I Cannot Keep Quiet series!

Every single one of us need healing from some sort of wound at different points in our life. Our savior, Jesus Christ, offers us healing from any wounds!
Unfortunately, many people don't go to Jesus for healing. Many go to people, like family of friends. They expect loved ones to heal their wound, and make them whole. Other times it's vice versa, because loved ones can be adamant about "fixing" you and making you whole. Truth is, no one can heal you but God.  We see a great example in the story of Job. In the middle of Job's suffering, three friends how up to comfort him. For 7 days and 7 nights that sat with him without saying a word. Eventually they spoke, only to add more distress onto a distraught man. But then God spoke... 
Another very common mistake is relying on time. We are told "give it time," "you'll get better in time." Although God does use time to heal, time is not what heals us. Time allows for perspective, maturity, and forgiveness.  It is essential for our human experience to go through the process instead of being granted healing from night to morning. In John 5, Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda who had been invalid for 38 years. He would lay next to the pool in hopes to jump in when the water stirred so that he may be well. The most that "time" would do is to grow him accustomed to this way of life, growing accustomed to pain, or temporarily hiding it does not equal healing. This man would have likely been invalid for the rest of his life had Jesus not stepped in. 
What is breaking your heart today? What wounds have you tried to heal with time? What wounds have you tried to heal with people? What solutions have others offered you? 
Bring your troubles to God. Only He will bring you healing. 
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
