I love God. I believe in God. And God loves me.
Dealing with depression and anxiety can be tough, especially when you have a hard time managing it. Yesterday (Sunday) and Saturday were challenges because I felt extremely down on myself and alert about everything around me. It even got to the point on where I couldn't eat or sleep, but going to church made me realize one thing.
I've been focusing on the wrong thing. This whole time I've been trying to figure this out my way, when I needed to call on Him. I figured this out several hours later while in the bathtub, trying to relax and calm down my anxiety. Wanna know what I did?
I whispered every single thing that I hated about myself, so not only I could hear it but so could God. After I was done crying my eyes out, a sweet lyrics popped into my head: Holy, Holy, Hy is the Lord God almighty. Who was and is, and is to come.
A wonderful thing about God is that he loves you no matter what. He can take every single thing that you hate about yourself and turn it into something he loves. God is beautiful and loving, cast all your worries on him.
This week I pray that you can fully surrender yourself to him, and trust him daily. I know for me it is a struggle to continuously let go, that's why I have to do it daily. He hears you, don't be afraid to speak out.

Thank you MiMi, That was inspiring. I try to tell myself that I'm made in the image of God but when I am being hard on myself it is difficult. I will try to remember what you said in this post .
ReplyDeleteI think you should check out this song called " Beautiful things " by Gungor. It is one of my favorites. It reminds me that God makes Beautiful things and he is making me new. :)
That makes me happy that you were able to take a moment to breathe, to let out all that darkness and then hand it all over into God's hands.
ReplyDeleteI am always here for you and so is God; you'll be in my prayers.
