When Old Trauma Reactivates
Day 11
“When you walk through the fire…”
—Isaiah 43:2
Narrative:
The holidays activate old trauma: voices, memories, smells, traditions, people.
Your body remembers what your mind tries to bury.
You’re not “overreacting.”
You’re reliving.
And God promises presence—not avoidance—through the fire.
Supporting Scripture: Psalm 32:7; Psalm 23:4
Questions:
- What memory is resurfacing?
- What reaction surprised you?
- What do you need to feel safer?
Prayer:
Lord, quiet my body. Heal the memories that still shake me. Walk with me through the fire. Amen.
