Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” As a lady on the frontline—whether in ministry, leadership, or any sphere of influence—you carry the weight of expectations, yet often hide wounds that no one sees. The truth is, unresolved childhood trauma and hidden pain do not disappear because you are anointed or successful. They sit quietly in the shadows of your soul, influencing your decisions, relationships, and even your walk with God. You cannot truly lead others into freedom while silently bleeding inside.
The first step is honesty—stop masking what is broken. Many women in leadership hide behind titles, positions, and makeup, but inside, there are scars from rejection, abuse, abandonment, or betrayal. These unhealed wounds resurface when you least expect, through anger, insecurity, or emotional shutdowns. Pretending to be strong does not make you whole; it only delays the healing process and deepens the cracks in your character. Ask yourself: Am I leading from a healed heart or a wounded soul?
Secondly, you must confront your pain intentionally. Healing will not happen by accident; you have to pursue it like your life depends on it—because it does. Go back to God in raw honesty and allow Him to dig deep. If necessary, seek godly counseling, not gossip. Journal your emotions. Forgive those who hurt you. Forgive yourself. Break the silence that keeps you in bondage. The enemy thrives in secrecy, but freedom begins when you expose the pain to the light of Christ.
Finally, remember this: wholeness is not a luxury; it is a necessity for your assignment. You cannot pour into others when you are empty or leaking. Your scars can become a testimony, but only if you let God heal them. Refuse to normalize pain as part of leadership. You are more than the wounds you carry, but you must choose healing. The Lord is near—you are not alone. It’s time to stop hiding behind your position and start healing for real.
