Healing the Wounded Soul: A 30-Day Bible Study for PTSD and Emotional Trauma

📘 Introduction

PTSD is often misunderstood. It’s not simply fear. It’s not weakness. It’s not a lack of faith. It’s the long, lingering effect of trauma—when the body remembers what the mind wants to forget. It can follow combat, yes, but also childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, medical trauma, natural disasters, bullying, betrayal, grief, or any moment that shattered your sense of safety.

If you’re living with PTSD, you might struggle with hypervigilance, intrusive memories, numbness, panic attacks, flashbacks, or shame. You may feel disconnected from others, from your past, even from yourself. But hear this: you are not beyond healing. And you are not alone.

God sees the hidden wounds. He understands what no one else has fully grasped. The Bible is filled with stories of survivors—people who cried out from the depths, who walked through trauma and emerged with testimony. And Scripture offers more than comfort—it offers transformation.

This Bible study is not a quick fix. It is a sacred space for you to bring your pain before the Lord, one day at a time. Each day will guide you through Scripture, provide space for reflection, and help you reconnect with the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

You don’t have to be “over it” to begin. Just come as you are. Bring your whole story. Jesus meets you in the wreckage—not with condemnation, but with compassion, truth, and power.

Let’s walk together toward healing.
