God Dependent!

I just want to praise the Lord for giving me another day. I want to thank Him for teaching me to speak life, healing, and restoration into my life everyday... no matter how hard the journey gets. It's beautiful now to me, how God brought me through a lot of hard times that have taught me how to completely rely on Him and to become oblivious to the drama of this world. The toughness of life and times of isolation have taught me how to be completely God dependent. It is a beautiful thing when you realize that the struggles and ugliness of life teaches 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. Oh let me tell you, I have battled serious bouts with depression, anxiety, and health issues. I've batted a lot of sickness just this year. God is finally restoring my joy this year after the enemy creeped in and stole it a few years back. I've made it through, and I'll continue to make it through because I've learned to take it straight to the throne room 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 His security, hope, love, peace, and assurance that I'm going to be alright 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, because it's a lie from satan himself. God loves you and He cares.
