What's the Plan?

For about 25 years I have ministering to women who have been abused. Repeatedly I ask them to read Psalm 139 OUT LOUD twice a day for 30 days.
It answers questions like: "Where were you, God?" "Does anybody care?" "Was I an accident?" and statements like: "What's the use." and "I feel like such a loser."
The enemy gives you thoughts that accuse God.
If I have learned only one thing at Pleasant Valley, it would be to question my thoughts. I can often hear Pastor Henry asking, "Who told you that?"
None of those questions come from the heart of God. Psalm 139 reveals His heart. When you know that then anything that does not line up with that is from the accuser of the brethren, Satan. Ditch those thoughts quickly before they destroy you.
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:26-27
If Jesus wants to wash us with the water of the Word, shouldn't we be doing the same?
Too often I was "rinsing" with the Word instead of a rubba dubba good washing.
Your Father loves you and His plan for you are for good and not evil to bring you to an expected end.
I can't promise you that there will never be pain, but I promise you that He will carry you and He can heal your broken heart and  bring a new life that is more than you could have ever imagined or even hoped for if only you will trust Him.
I mean really trust Him.
Let me tell you in case you have forgotten, You are loved, deeply loved.
