Journaling :


When I think about peace... what comes to my mind? The lack of it, that's what. As one that has
struggled for years with depression and anxiety, peace is not something I would often feel. Over
the course of my life, I have had many panic stricken moments... moments that leave me breathless and shaken with undeniable fear. Most of those times the source of my fear was my own mentality, something I had conjured up, not of something actually happening. I would then cry out to God for help, uncertain of why I was feeling this way. I could not understand the purpose of my anxiety or why God had not cured me of it. Yet He has never let me down; He has never failed me. When fear would come and I'd call out to God, a sense of peace would wash over me. I knew God was with me. I knew He would not leave me. Eventually the physical aspects of anxiety would lessen and I'd be relaxed once again.


As I have grown closer to my Abba, I have learned that inner peace is attainable only through the Creator of Peace. He grants it to those of us who call on Him, who love Him, and who desire to be more like Him. As the Creator of Peace it would make sense that being made in His image we would crave His True Peace. He is my Jehovah-Jireh; my Provider, my Constant Hope. As I walk hand in hand with my Saviour, He continues to fill my soul with a peace that no one can take away from me.


The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. ~Numbers 6:24-26

This is very lovely. What a great way to share your testimony. So sorry to hear of your depression. I haven't been there but know what it is like to help support someone going through depression. It effects everyone around you, but no doubt effects the one going through it most of all. I feel for you Connie. I have two sisters fighting depression, and it is tough stuff. May God surround you in a very special way and may you feel His presence near every day. God Bless

I completely understand and relate to you. I met the Lord committing suicide and He has been faithful to become my peace. Praise Him for what He has done and will continue to do in your life. Smile
