Prayer

Prayer and meditation are the means of our daily contact with our Higher Power.  Frankly though, for some survivors, even the mention of the word prayer can trigger painful flashbacks.  Often it was the very people who abused us who taught us how to pray and who espoused "religious values."

 

These experiences created for us an image of God who looked an awful lot like our abuser.  If we turn to a Higher Power that we believe is abusive in any way, we are still victims.  Rather, we need to find a Higher Power that is on our side and to establish daily conscious contact for our healing and growth.

 

T. Thomas

Surviving with Serenity

 

By daily turning to our Higher Power in prayer, we gain inner strength and guidance for our lives as well as the courage to reach out to other survivors for help when we are in need.
