“In The Line of Fire” is a divinely inspired painting created for those suffering with PTSD
The terror and fear that one experiences that can come at any moment, because of a trigger, no one really understands unless you lived it.
PTSD resulting from participation in combat seems to be unique from other forms of PTSD. In combat situations military personnel are often both victim and aggressor, a dynamic which adds complexities to the issue. Often those with combat-specific PTSD will exhibit depression, extreme feelings of guilt, hypervigilance, and low self-esteem. It can be particularly difficult for combat veterans to process through the atrocities they have witnessed, come to a place of acceptance over the things they have been tasked to do, and readjust to non-combat living.
The suffering is real, not only for the person with PTSD but also for their family and loved ones.
I hope and pray to expose that suffering and bring awareness to this horrible disease.
Regardless of the circumstances, there is hope. First and foremost, that hope comes from God. This painting reflects that hope!
Psalm 91.
”He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,“
”A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.“
”If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.“
Psalms 91:4-5, 7, 9-12
