Pain in her past eventually drove Donna Van Lear to the only one who could really help.

There comes a time and a place where everyone has to open their hands to something and say,

take this Lord, take it from me, because it's not doing me any good.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.

For March 31st, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

All of us experience unpleasant things in life, but some go through what can only be described as evil.

That's a different kind of suffering.

It's suffering at the hands of someone else.

Maybe you understand that on a personal level. Now, I need to alert parents

that today's program references a traumatic childhood experience of a sexual nature. So if you have

younger ears nearby, you may want to get them occupied doing something else for the next minutes

here. And remember, you can always listen later on the Reviver Hearts app or at

Revive Our Hearts.com. Donna Van Leer is a best-selling author, a speaker, a wife, and a mom.

She's also a dear friend of my co-host, Dana Gresh. Recently, Donna visited Dana at our

Pennsylvania studio to share with us how she's come to trust God with her story.

It's a story that includes some painful chapters.

Here's Dana.

Normally, my guest needs no introduction, but since she's running low on sleep today,

oh, yes.

Donno, why, I'm so glad to have hosted you in my home last night, but it didn't go very well.

No, it didn't.

No.
