Fully Relying on God!

Lord, You never cease to amaze me, just how wonderful You are to me despite my humanness. Lord, thank You for teaching me to speak life, healing, and restoration into my life everyday. It is beautiful that You brought me through all the ugliness that taught me how to completely rely on You, and to become oblivious to the drama of this World. It is a beautiful thing when you realize that the struggles teach you how to become so focused on God that you can learn not to be consumed with anxieties and fears. The truth is that no one is alone. There is a God who is real and loves us more than anything this world can offer. This year, due to health issues and the loss of my last grandparent in December (2016), I have battled serious bouts with depression, an issue I have struggled on/off with for 15+ years, yet God continues to bring me through each time. I took it straight to the throne of God. It's at these intimate times where I'm laid bare emotionally before God that I realize just how badly I need Him in my life. That's the place that I find security, hope, love, and an assurance that I'm going to be all right, no matter the situation I'm going through. I want to encourage those who are struggling through tough times to please bring them before God, and lay those feelings or burdens down at His feet. Let Him be your strength. We were never created to be alone! Don't allow the enemy to tell you otherwise, it's a lie and distortion!
