Healing Moral Injury
Through Intercessory Prayer
Veteran Outreach
No matter what you did or didn't do.
No matter what you may have experienced.
No matter what you may have witnessed.
Don't ever think that God can't forgive you.
Don't ever think that God doesn't love you.
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name;
you are Mine!
Isaiah 43:1
What is Moral Injury?
Moral injury is the suffering people experience when we are in high stakes situations, things go wrong, and harm results that challenges our deepest moral codes and ability to trust in others or ourselves. The harm may be something we did, something we witnessed, or something that was done to us. It results in moral emotions such as shame, guilt, self-condemnation, outrage and sorrow.
Moral injury is a wound to the soul that violates one's deeply held sense of right and wrong. It can lead to homelessness, drug addiction, a broken spirit and suicide.
"To violate your conscience is to commit moral suicide."
Rev. Herman Keizer Jr. Colonel and Chaplain, U.S. Army, Ret
Those who survive war and come home are not a problem we have to fix.
They are a part of us that we need to incl​ude and not set apart.
God's children are
His High Value Units,
and we will guard them!
