I Hope This Helps Someone Trust GOD More. There is a reason I share so many things about faith, love, hope, overcoming fear, doubt, anger, and positive thinking. It’s because I’ve been really scared before. YES, me! I’m not ashamed to admit, there was a point in my life when I was too afraid to even trust GOD to handle my life and the situation I was in. Oh yes, I knew: • Prayer could change things • Faith could help me achieve the impossible • There was no failure in GOD • GOD could turn things around • Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning… … It all sounded good to me, and I lived by it. However, I knew those things about GOD because I learned them… yet really, I had never experienced GOD for myself yet. By the time I was a senior in college… I had all of my dreams mapped out, great career leads lined up… and a promising future eagerly awaited me. I WAS HAPPY! However, all of those plans were put on hold. Less than 3 weeks after I finished school… on a normal day like any other day, a panic attack hit me out of nowhere like tsunami. It was unreal. I’d heard of such a thing, but I never knew how fierce panic attacks could be, until they hit me. I thought my life was going to end that day. Yet, what followed was a state of depression and anxiety attacks, which took over my life for a period of nearly 3 years. The anxiety attacks were so ferocious at times, I would not only stay home, but I stayed in the confines of my bedroom for over a year. My daily routine was – the bathroom, the kitchen, and then back to the bedroom. I felt lost, DEAD, and disconnected from the world…. I was 23 years old, unemployed and broke – and I felt as if I didn’t matter anymore. Thankfully, though, GOD stepped in. HE taught me even more about life during that period of time. REALLY, it was GOD’s way of getting my attention… in order for me to see HIM for WHO HE IS… so I could do the work HE had planned for my life. At that point... I LEARNED TO TRUST GOD. WHAT about my plans? Well, let’s just say GOD had HIS own blueprint for my life. MY whole point here is this: You have to allow GOD to have HIS way in your life. Sure, you can make plans… but you had better consult GOD first… because HE will certainly change them if they don’t line up with what HIS plans are. What you have to realize is… everything – love, hope, peace, joy, prosperity…. and of course, LIFE itself begins with trusting GOD – and GOD alone! Check your present situation… see if it’s GOD’s way of nudging you, to get your attention. HE’s not trying to hurt you… but HE only wants to make your life better – but HE wants you to do it HIS way. Believe it or not, it will make you much happier than the best plans you can ever dream of putting together. #AuthenticLeadership #PatWilliamsonInc :)
