Efesiërs 4:26

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like this, but when your heart has been shattered, forgiveness seems like an impossible request. Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands and invites you to join her for this 5-day reading plan from her new book Forgiving What You Can’t Forget and to discover God’s healing gift.

Whether we suffer emotional or physical wounds, forgiveness is the cornerstone of the Christian life. Jesus Christ experience all kinds of unfair and unjust treatment, even to the point of a wrongful death. Yet in his final hour, he forgave the mocking thief on the other cross and his executioners.

Everyone suffers disappointment, rejection, injustices, and losses, perhaps even traumatic ones. The spiritual pain born of such suffering can paralyze us, leaving us broken inside and barely getting by with the motions of life. Whether we remain stuck or move forward is determined in large part by our resilience. Concise and compassionate, Becoming Resilient takes our most common question when tragedy strikes—why?—and replaces it with the healthier, more productive question, what next?
